When they came there, they were all put into one Cart, severally lamenting their Case, and praying fervently, while the Executioner was tying them up.

As we are determin'd never to further the Public by making two Parts of our Dying Speech, and it being next to impossible to insert to thin the Compass of One, the whole of so Remarkable a Life as that of Maclean's, We shall, to satisfy the Curiosity of the Public, publish in a few Days be Whole by itself; in which will be included several Curious Original Letters, wrote to and from Maclean; and as a Frontispiece, will be press'd, a very neat Picture of Him taken from the Life, while under Sentence, Drawn, and Engrav'd by Mr. Boitard.
