The stratagem took effect: a panic seized the English: they threw downtheir arms and fled: they were pursued with great slaughter for thespace of ninety miles, till they reached Berwick: and the Scots, besidesan inestimable booty, took many persons of quality prisoners, and abovefour hundred gentlemen, whom Robert treated with great humanity, [*] andwhose ransom was a new accession of wealth to the victorious army. Theking himself narrowly escaped by taking shelter in Dunbar, whose gateswe...re opened to him by the earl of March; and he thence passed by sea toBerwick.

Such was the great and decisive battle of Bannockburn, which secured theindependence of Scotland, fixed Bruce on the throne of that kingdom, andmay be deemed the greatest overthrow that the English nation, since theconquest, has ever received. The number of slain on those occasions isalways uncertain, and is commonly much magnified by the victors: butthis defeat made a deep impression on the mind of the English; and itwas remarked that, for some years, the superiority of numbers couldencourage them to keep the field against the Scots.
