The Jacobites and the Union : Being a Narrative of the Movements of 1708, 1715, 1719 by Several Contemporary Hands

Omtale

This book, first published in 1922, uses 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'.
