PRINCE CHARLIE'S LIQUEUR.
The origin of "DRAMBUIE" and the basis of its production, give it a character distinct from other Liqueurs.
Brought to Scotland by a follower of Prince Charlie in 1745, the recipe was given to a MacKinnon of Skye, and the secret has ever since remained in one family. The MacKinnon of that day employed the materials which, were available, and in place of Brandy a fine old Whisky was used. This, along with heather honey and herbal ingredients of recognised value as aids to digestion produced a Liqueur which soon gained the post of honour on the tables of Highland Aristocracy, and is now known world-wide.

In this way the language definite- ty marked off the nation into two groups, and rendered it impossible for the governed, to iso into the ranks of the governors, boce they abandoned this difficult and specialised language which alone led to the promised land. The re- wards and high offices were bestow. jed upon those who remembered besti the abstrus doctrines, the subtle allusions and the fuely polished phrases of the sages.

Probably the closest parallel to the intellectual supremacy of Con- fusius in China, is that of Aristotle in the Middle Ages just before the Renaissance.
Yet the avstenit was such as to win for itself the general approval |_|| of the community; though the people wallowed in ignorance, they had a profound respect for those who achieved what to them was quite impossible.
