Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Marquis of Montrose, 1639-1650 The amount of historical matter brought together in our notes and appendices (much of which is printed for the first time, and was unknown to ourselves at the beginning of our undertaking) obliges us to limit our Preface to a brief memoir of the author, with a passing glance at his times, mainly in special reference to the career of Montrose and his biographer. The difficulty of collecting even the few fragmentary elements for such a notice has been increased by confusion with the life of another Wishart. The times were out of joint; the ancient family to which he belonged was breaking up; hence data sufficient for a complete biography have eluded our search. George Wishart, born in 1599, was the younger son, as is generally assumed, of John Wishart of Logie Wishart in the county of Forfar, and grandson of Sir John Wishart of that ilk. The family had long been in possession of the estates, having held charters from Gilbert de Umphraville, Earl of Angus, in 1272.
