Set in Scotland amidst the Jacobite rising of 1745, it prominently features Prince Charles, who attempted to regain the British Throne for the House of Stuart. Includes a preface by James C. Corson, as well as appendix with endnotes and a glossary of archaic terms. Entry 75 in Everyman's Library fiction series. --- In Everyman's Library larger format binding style 5.
