Cambridge, Oct. 5. 1850.
_Scotch Prisoners at Worcester._--The following is Rapin's account of the
disposition of these prisoners, and even this statement he seems to doubt.
(Vol. ii. p. 585.)
"It is pretended, of the Scots were slain [at Worcester] about 2000,
and seven or eight thousand taken prisoners, who being sent to London,
were sold for slaves to the plantations of the American
isles."--Authorities referred to: Phillips, p. 608., Clarendon, iii. p.
