Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Marquis of Montrose, Vol. 1 Since the publication of "The Life and Times of Montrose," in 1840, the author of the present more complete biography of that great Scottish worthy edited a voluminous collection of original documents, entitled "Memorials of Montrose and his Times," which were printed under the auspices of that very liberal institution of letters the Maitland Club. Of this important historical repertory, affording the most authentic materials for a history of "the Troubles" in Scotland which led to the fall of the Monarchy, the first volume was completed in 1848, and the second in 1850. The nature of the original documents thus preserved, and rendered tangible for the benefit both of History and Biography, and their value especially to a fuller illustration than has hitherto appeared of the life and actions of the maligned Marquis of Montrose, will be best explained by some extracts from the editorial prefaces. "The first intention of these Memorials of Montrose was, simply, to preserve in a tangible form certain original papers referred to, or partially extracted, in two successive publications of his Life and Times; but which suitable appendices to those works were found inadequate to contain. These papers were part of the materials obtained from the Montrose and Napier charter-chests. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
