GRAHAM, John, Viscount of Dundee, better known as Claverhouse, from the name of his estate, born about 1650, killed at Killiecrankie in 1689. The details of his life are given in the article SCOTLAND. The recent attempts of party writers to whitewash the character of Claverhouse have been all signal failures. It would be hardly fair to except from that catalogue even Sir W. Scott, whose political sympathies lay altogether in favour of those views for which Graham fought and finally died. The sketch of Claverhouse in Old Mortality is in the highest degree vigorous and graphic, but a very different and far truer estimate of the arch-persecutor is that in the episode entitled "Wandering Willie's Tale," in the story of Redgauntlet by the same author.
