3 The stipulations of this Contract, or Family Compact, not of, but for, the marriage, are so
quaint and interesting that a somewhat full quotation is afterwards given from the Contract between
Captain Thomas Craufurd for his son Hew, and William Stirling for his daughters Janet and
Elizabeth, in 1595, under which Captain Craufurd undertook that Hew should, in due season,
marry either Janet or Elizabeth Stirling. Hew, as above noted, preferred the younger sister.
