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 Rising of 1745. First-hand accounts are
presented with minimal editorial interference, allowing those

authorities and a table of notable persons are also included. This
book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the Jacobites
and eighteenth-century British history."
