Only a few of them arrived at Danzig on account of what he called the "Kosackische Revolte." Kgl. St. Archiv, Danzig.] Th. Duff (1619); P. Masterton (1620); Wadrop (1622); Macallen (1621); D.

It will be seen from the above list how much more generous Danzig was in the admission of the Scots to the freedom of the city. A grateful remembrance of the military services of the Scots in times of war has, no doubt, to do with it. The town deserves the eulogy of some Scottish petitioners who write in 1594: "The Magistrates of Danzig enjoy the honour and glory with foreign nations, of not wholly avoiding good people for the sake of their difference of tongue and language to the exclusion and refusal of civil rights, but they make known their name far and wide above many other countries and towns by means of their humanity and friendliness."
