Written by Scottish man of letters Andrew Lang, this biography of Prince Charles Edward was undoubtedly "his best historical composition. He had been a Jacobite from boyhood, yet he had no illusions about the prince" (DNB). The candid tone and wealth of historical detail combine to make this a work of great interest and value about the Prince.

A fine copy.
