Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Times of Prince Charles Stuart, Vol. 1 of 2: Count of Albany, Commonly Called the Young Pretender; From the State Papers and Other Sources Some few years ago it fell within the course of my official work at the Record Office, to make a calendar of the State Papers of the reigns of the first two Georges. As I approached the period of the Rebellion of 1745, the papers increased in interest, and it struck me that they could be made to throw a new light on the thrice-told tale of the last Jacobite insurrection. The documents before me, either from ignorance of their existence or on account of the difficulties that in former days surrounded the examination of the State Papers, had never been consulted. Here and there some isolated paper had been made use of by historians and biographers, but the greater portion of the letters and examinations of witnesses was virgin soil. It was a mine well worth the working, and I delved amidst its unsunned treasures. From the events of the rebellion to the hero of the enterprise was but a natural step. To my surprise, I found that nothing worthy to be called a biography of Prince Charles had been written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
