Riassunto

Charles Sanford Terry (1864–1936) was a distinguished historian and music scholar who wrote important works on Scottish history and J. S. Bach. In this book, which was first published in 1922, Terry joins together a variety of eighteenth-century sources to construct a narrative of the Jacobite movement during the attempted invasion of 1708 and the Risings of 1715 and 1719. First-hand accounts are presented with minimal editorial interference, allowing those who were involved in the fighting to 'tell its incidents in their own way'. A bibliography, table of notable people, textual notes and illustrative figures are also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the Jacobites and eighteenth-century British history.
