[Footnote 85: It may be proper to point out here that the Editor
discussed the idea of issuing a work on rare tartans, to be illustrated
by examples of the actual fabrics, with his publisher several years
ago, and it was not until the illustrations for the present work were
considerably advanced that he became aware of the existence of Miss
Dick Lauder’s copy of the _Vestiarium_, which she has so handsomely
placed at his disposal, and which contains the statement in the text.]
[Footnote 86: Copy of original letter in possession of Miss Dick
Lauder. Copies of Sir Thomas Dick Lauder’s letters to Sir Walter Scott,
along with the originals of the latter’s replies, are bound up with the
copy of the _Vestiarium_ made by Sir Thomas in 1828-9, referred to on
page 45. The volume, now in possession of Miss Dick Lauder, daughter
of Sir Thomas, also contains the cleverly executed water-colours by
Charles Edward Stuart referred to in the above letter and the quaint
illustrations by Sir Thomas Dick Lauder subsequently referred to.]
[Footnote 87: This, it will be remembered, was the copy which belonged
to John Ross, the old sword-player.]
[Footnote 88: _i.e._, the Douay MS.]
[Footnote 89: The words within brackets do not occur in Sir Thomas’s
letter to Sir Walter. They appear, however, in the original letter
written by the father of the Messrs Hay, and preserved by Sir Thomas in
the volume now in Miss Dick Lauder’s possession.]
[Footnote 90: Sir Walter did so, and it is reproduced on page 56.]
[Footnote 91: This, it will be remembered, was the copy got from John
Ross with the date 1721.]
