Rob Roy and the Clan Macgregor, Historical Memoirs of; including the Story of the Abduction of Lady Grange. With an Introductory Sketch, illustrative of the Condition of the Highlands prior to 1745. By K. Macleay, M.D. I vol., crown 8vo., cloth, with authentic portrait of Rob Roy, 5s.

250 Large Paper Copies on Dutch Handmade Paper, with portrait, 7s. 6d.

The previous editions of this interesting and authentic account of the Times, the Family, and the Exploits of the celebrated Rob Roy have now been out of print for many years. It has therefore been increasingly difficult to obtain copies of a work which throws much light, not only upon the romantic career of the outlaw, but upon the state of the Highlands prior to the Rebellion of 1715. The present publisher has for these reasons issued this third edition, which he trusts will meet with acceptance alike from those interested in Scottish history, and those who may be curious to learn more of the life, character, and adventures of the hero of one of Sir Walter Scott's greatest novels. The story of the abduction of Lady Grange, which is added, as in the previous editions, forms an appropriate sequel to the memoirs of Rob Roy, having all the charm of a romance, while well illustrating the utter lawlessness at one time prevailing within the Highland borders.—Preface.

“No one doubts the interest of the book. It has, indeed, won the favour of a large number of readers.”—Scotsman.

“Those who want to learn the true history of Rob Roy will find it graphically told in the work before us. The whole work is of the most engrossing interest, and reads more like a sensational novel than a chapter in veritable history.”—Perthshire Constitutional.

“An authority upon the history of the unfortunate Clan Gregor.”—Dundee Advertiser.
