This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1905 edition. Excerpt: ... BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE CONSIDERING the appalling amount of Jacobite literature, biographies of Prince Charles are surprisingly scanty in number. The following are the most important, though Mr. Lang's volumes easily supersede all others: Alexander C. Ewald's The Life and Times of Prime Charles Stuart (new edition. London, 1883); Carl L. Klose's Leben des Prinzen Carl aus dem Hause Stuart (Leipzig, 1842); Andrew Lang's Prince Charles Edward (London, 1900), and his Pickle the Spy; or, The Incognito of Prince Charles (London, 1897); Amedee Pichot's Histoire de Charles--Edouard, dernier Prince de la Maison de Stuart (Paris, 1830). The life of Charles's father, James III., is yet to be written. Sketches of his career are in John H. Jesse's Memoirs of the Pretenders and their Adherents (London, 1845); J.

The Jacobite attempts to restore James III. are described in detail, from contemporary sources, in the present writer's The Chevalier de St. George and the Jacobite Movements in his Favour, 1701-20 (London, 1901). The recently published Calendar of the Stuart Papers belonging to His Majesty the King, preserved at Windsor Castle James's life and policy to 1716.
