Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Orygynale Cronykil of Scotland, Vol. 1 of 3 Boyse and Buchanan are the only historians of Scotland, if they may be so called, whose works have been translated and they are the very two who ought to have been consigned to the deepest obscurity. Hence in a great measure proceed the corrupt ideas of Scottish history, which are so deeply rooted in the minds of many people. The evil is greatly increased by some teachers of Latin putting Buchanan's history into the hands of their pupils, because, forsooth, his Latin style is very fine, which is but a wretched excuse for perverting the youthful mind, though they could prove his latinity superior to Cicero's.
