Excerpt from The Loyall Dissuasive and Other Papers Concerning: The Affairs of Clan Chattan: By Sir neas Macpherson, Knight of Invereshie 1619-1705
These writings and their author, though little known to history, have held a prominent place in clan controversy and Highland interest. In the literary wars of Macpherson and Mackintosh, Sir neas has long been a name for the former to rally round, and for the latter to respect. Whether omnc ignotum pro magnifico may have had a share in the eminent estimation of his writings may he a question, but now that the manuscripts have yielded up their mystery to print, and the custody of the Charter Chest has been relaxed, by the kindness of the owners of the various documents, the Society and the reading public may themselves judge of the powers of Sir neas as champion of Cluny Macpherson, and estimate the merits of his works.
Whatever may be deemed the success of Sir neas in controversy, there is no question as to the value of his writings for the vivid light they throw on many characters, many situations, and much of the undercurrent and the smaller diplomacies of the Orange Involution period.
