The Scottish Highlands, Highland Clans and Highland Regiments, Volume 1 (of 2)

No apology is deemed necessary for bringing this History of the Scottish Highlands before the public. A work under a similar title was brought out by the present publishers upwards of thirty years ago, under the care of Dr. James Browne, and met with a sale so extensive and sustained as to prove that it supplied a real want. Since the publication of Brownes History, which it is only the simple truth to say had no rival, research has brought to light so much that is new connected both with the general history of the Highlands and the history of the various clans, and so many new laurels have been added to those already won by the Highland regiments during the past century, and the early part of the present, that the publishers believed the time had come for the preparation and issue of a new work. In preparing it, the editor has done all in his power to make it complete and accurate. The object of Dr. Brownes work was to present in one book all that is interesting and valuable concerning the Highlands and Highlanders, a great deal of information on this subject having lain scattered in various quarters inaccessible to the general public. In the preparation of the present work this object has been kept steadily in view; and it may be said of it, with even more force than of Brownes, that it is a collectanea of information concerning the Scottish Highlands of an extent and kind to be met with in no other single publication. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
