Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historie of the Life and Death of Sir William Kirkaldy of Grange, Knight: Wherein Is Declared His Many Wise Designs and Valiant Actions, With a True Relation of His Heroic Conduct in the Castle of Edinburgh Which He Had the Honour to Defend for the Queen of Scots This sketch of an old-time Scottish soldier, written in part more than twenty years since, is now re-cast and completed in its present form for publication by The Club of Odd Volumes. There have been but two attempts to present a consecutive narrative of the career of the most famous soldier of the days of Mary, Queen of Scots: (1.) An introductory chapter entitled Biographical Sketches of Sir William Kircaldy of Grange, Governor of Edinburgh Castle, prefixed to Constable´s edition of Scottish Poems of the Sixteenth Century, published in 1801; (2.) Memoirs and Adventures of Sir William Kirkaldy of Grange, Knight, &c., published by Blackwood, Edinburgh, 1849. It was the utter inadequacy of these accounts to convey any suggestion of the personality of Grange, or of the influences which shaped his striking career, that led many years ago to the studies that are responsible for the present sketch. The Memoirs of Sir James Melville of Halhill form an important authority in regard to Grange, and they furnish by far the most intimate account of his personal traits and the motives which controlled his public acts.
