Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Account of the Surname of Maclean, or Macghillean: From the Manuscript of 1751 and a Sketch of the Life and Writings of Lachlan Maclean, With Other Information Pertaining to the Clan Maclean The first published account of the Clan MacLean, of any moment, was that printed in London in 1838, under the title: "Account of the Clan MacLean," a book of 358 pages. It is an anonymous work, under the name "Seneachie." The late Alexander Thomas Maclean, Fifteenth Maclean of Ardgour, informed me when I visited him in 1888, that the writer, or compiler was Rev. John Campbell Sinclair, and the expense was borne by Charles Hope Maclean. He went even still further and made uncomplimentary comments on the author. The statement of Ardgour fixes the internal origin of the book, for no one would be more likely to know. After the publication of my history of the clan, I placed a copy in his hands, and I never heard of his demurring to the statement, as to the authorship, I made in that work. All histories treating of the Western Isles of Scotland make more or less notice of the MacLeans. Among the earliest works that treat of the origin of the various Clans of Scotland are the Book Ballymote, 1383; the Book of Leccan, 1416; the Skene Manuscript, 1467; and MacFirbis´s Book of Genealogies, 1650 to 1666. Among the manuscripts particularly devoted to the Macleans, the oldest known is that of 1716, now in the Advocates Library, Edinburgh, and attached to the Macfarlane MS. I have specially treated this MS. in another work, which was generously published by our enthusiastic clansman, Colonel John Bayne Maclean of Toronto. The edition is quite limited. Probably the next point of time is that of 1751. This was entirely new to me until November, 1913, when a copy was placed in my hands by John MacLean, chairman of the Great Gathering of the Clan in 1912.
