Author Description

Excerpt from Memoirs of the Jacobites of 1715 and 1745, Vol. 1 As far as human weakness and prejudice can per mit, the Author has aimed at a strict scrutiny of conduct and motives. In the colouring given to these, she has conscientiously sought to be impartial: for the facts stated, she has given the authorities. It now remains for the Author publicly to acknow ledge the resources from which she has derived some materials which have never before been given to the Public, and for which she has to thank, in se veral instances, not only the kindness of friends, but the liberality of strangers.
