Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Prince Charles Edward: His Life, Times, and Fight for the Crown Some five or six years ago, Lord Rosebery told of a conversation which took place in London between himself and a very distinguished historian. "Don´t you think enough has been done for the Jacobites of the eighteenth century?" said the historian. To which Lord Rosebery replied: "Well, perhaps to the eye of reason it may be so; but to the eye of sympathy I do not think we can ever do enough for the Jacobites of the eighteenth century. I hold the opinion that there is a strong underlying sympathy with, and interest in, the Jacobites to be found somewhere in the nature of every Scotsman or Scotswoman; and, therefore, I feel certain that any one dealing with the Jacobites is meeting a constant appetite and desire in the Scottish mind." Not, it may surely be added, in the Scottish mind only, but in the minds of all who have any feeling for romance, for "old, unhappy, far-off things, and battles long ago." The present book is neither a history of the rising of 1745 nor a biography of Charles Edward Stuart. It is a biography only in essential details, and the story of the rising is told only as fully as need be at this time of day.
