Little otherwise remarkable happened among them, only Maclean, when he got out of the Cart he was brought in, into that from whence he was to be turned off, in a very devout Manner, with uplifted Hands and Eyes expressed himself, saying,</p>
<p n="276">"O God, forgive my Enemies,</p>
<p n="277">"bless my Friends, and receive my</p>

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.</p>
