ABSTRACT
At this time the clouds of French tyranny began to lower over all the Continent of Europe, and the contagion of republican despotism spread to the territories of Geneva. 81 Britain, guarded by its surrounding ocean, held forth the only asylum, and to this asylum its own inhabitants could not hesitate a moment to return. The united families of Eaglefield and Hawthorn, joined by the Frasers and Captain Cameron, therefore determined to set out for England by the way of Germany, Col. Fraser first drawing his property from the Bank of Geneva, in / which it was placed, and whence he used to receive his remittances during his solitude.
