J74 THE GENTTINE HISTORY OF " too abfurd to gain any credit. But perhaps ^^ the Pifts gave the diftrift of Argyle to their " allies of Ireland, in confideration of fervices '^ againft the Romans. Thefe fervices were ex- '* tremely unnecefTary ', for the Romans, till pro- '* voked by incurfions, were very inoffenfrve to- '* wards the Barbarians beyond the walls. Na- *' tions, in fliort, have been known to receive fo- " reigners into the bofom of their country to re- " pel invafions, but it is ridiculous to think that " any people would have recourfe to fo danger- ^' ous an expedient for the pleafure of haraffing *' neighbours who did not in any degree offend " them." The former was Mr. Macpherfon*s firft argument againft Bede. This is his fecond. And it is calculated to prove, that the Scots could not have fettled in Caledonia either by force or treaty. But, fuppofmg every part of it to be juft, the whole is of no moment againft a faft that is pofitively afferted by a credible autho- rity. Such an argument would not deftroy the llighteft incident of the flighteft hiftory that ever was written. Though the Scots could not fettle by force, as indeed I think that Mr. Macpherfon's reafoning feems ftrong» ly to evince, they might fettle by treaty, fof any reafon that is afftgned by him. The fervices of the Scots againft the Romans might be unnecelTary : and yet the Caledonians might allov#

To invite the Irifh into the ifland merely to at- tack the inofFenfive Romans, might be folly in the Caledonians ; and yet they might do it. Mr. Macpherfon forgets, t^at he is arguing, not iigaind the afligned reafons of a fa£l, but againft the exiflence of the faft itfelf. Againft the former his arguments would carry weight. But ihey carry none at all againft the latter. There are alfo other modes of fettling peaceably in a country, than what is here mentioned. And in the Hiftory of Manchefter I have fuggefted one very different from this, and in all probability the true one ^. P. 106— 107.— " It is difficult for the unpre- ^' judiced part of mankind to believe, that a *' colony, fufficient to occupy the weftern high- " lands and ifles, could have wafted themfelves, " their wives, and children, at once, from Ire- " land into the northern Britain, in Curraghs or " miferable ikiffs, whofe hulls of wicker were " wrapped up in a cow's hide. In thefe wretch- ** ed vefiels, it is true, an irregular communi- *' cation was kept up between both the iflands ^ but the navigation was dangerous, and per- *^ formed
