Index to Mr. Lockt's Memoirs concerning the Affairs of Scotland." In this tract the pages are specified, in which the most obnoxious passages are to be found.[1] A descendant of Lockhart's published the "Memoirs" in 1817, together with the other papers of his ancestor. In this republication, there is an additional preface in answer to Dalrymple's introduction, which was prepared by the author, and left with the copy intended for publication after his decease. Various reasons prevented the publication until 1817, which are stated in the preface by the editor.[2]

The Jacobites began to prepare their psalms of thanksgiving against a time expected; and for the use of their people they published some select psalms in English, with the Latin version of Buchanan, entitled "The Loyal Mans Psalter: or some select Psalms in Latin and English verse, fit for the Times of Persecution." He gives the following specimens:
"Bless'd is the loyal man whose steps
No trayterous counsel lead aside,
Nor stand in rebels ways,
nor sit Where God and justice men deride.Psalm 1.Confounded be those rebels all
That to usurpers bow;
And make what Gods and Kings they please,
And worship them below."Psalm 97.Wisdom of Looking Backward, 337, 338.
