GRAHAME OF CLAVERHOUSE
VISCOUNT DUNDEE
_By Michael Barrington_
With many Portraits reproduced in Photogravure, Military Maps of the
Campaigns, a Pedigree, Facsimile Letter, and copious Bibliography.
_In one volume, Imperial Octavo (11 in. × 7-1/2 in.) Price Thirty
Shillings net._
It is now precisely two hundred and twenty-two years since Lord
Dundee fell mortally wounded at Killiecrankie, lamented by his
followers as the “last and best of Scots,” and cited by his most
inveterate opponents as the man upon whose life King James’s cause
depended. Few famous leaders have been more violently condemned by
partisan historians than the “Bluidy Claver’se” of Whig tradition,
few more fervently eulogised than the “Bonnie Dundee” of Jacobite
romance and song; but the time has now come when it is possible to
form a dispassionate and comprehensive estimate of a much-disputed
character and career. The book is valuable for its vivid picture of
the Highland Campaign, which (though constituting Dundee’s chief
claim to immortality) has hitherto been very inadequately treated by
historians. In this latest and most complete biography of Claverhouse,
the requirements of the student, the man of action, and the general
public, have all been considered. The illustrations form an attractive
feature and include amongst others the famous Glamis and Melville
portraits of the “Persecutor,” a facsimile of one of his letters to
Lord Queensberry, and a beautiful, but little-known, contemporary
pencil drawing, which in its delicacy of execution rivals the art of
the miniature painter. New and excellent military maps (bearing the
imprint of Mr. Edward Stanford), an itinerary of the Highland Campaign
and a copious bibliography, much enhance the practical utility of Mr.
Barrington’s work.
Especial care has been devoted to the production of the book, and its
appearance will be found to please the most critical. The paper used is
an Antique Laid, specially manufactured for the volume. The edition is
limited to 900 copies for sale in England and America, and in addition
to these there is an Edition de Luxe, strictly limited to 50 copies,
each one numbered and signed by the Author. The ordinary edition is
bound in brown buckram, with a cover design embodying the arms of
Claverhouse reproduced in gilt; the Edition de Luxe is bound in full
vellum, and the photogravures are specially printed on India paper.
The price of the latter is Three Guineas net, and only a small number
remain.
