Works, including the Waverley novels and the poems . the road to Edinburgh, though the pallid visages of someof the troop betrayed that they had spent a night ofsleepless debauchery. They halted at Linlithgow, dis-tinguished by its ancient palace, which Sixty YearsSince was entire and habitable, and whose venerableruins, not quite Sixty Years Since, very narrowly escapedthe unworthy fate of being converted into a barrack forFrench prisoners.

As they approached the metropolis of Scotland, through a champaign and cultivated country, the soundsof war began to be heard. The distant yet distinct re-port of heavy cannon, fired at intervals, apprized Wav-erley that the work of destruction was going forward.Even Balmawhapple seemed moved to take some pre-cautions, by sending an advanced party in front of histroop, keeping the main body in tolerable order, andmoving steadily forward. 32 Edinburgh.
