The Life and Times of Prince Charles Stuart : Count of Albany, Commonly Called the Young Pretender from the State Papers and Other Sources (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Life and Times of Prince Charles Stuart: Count of Albany, Commonly Called the Young Pretender From the State Papers and Other Sources

From the events Of the rebellion to the hero of the enterprise was but a natural step. To my surprise, I found that nothing worthy to be called a biography of Prince Charles had been written. Works, it is true, calling themselves Lives of the Young Pretender, ' were numerous; but the information contained in their pages began and ended with the Rebellion of The Forty - Five.' Little beyond what was due to mere conjecture was known Of the Prince's early life and declining years.
