Green Cloth Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. 1886. First edition. xii, 373pp. and a 1 page review of another work by the author. Robert Forbes (1708-1775) was a Scottish Non-juring Anglican bishop. He served as the bishop of Ross and Caithness for the Scottish Episcopal Church. In 1735 he went to Edinburgh, and was s…hortly appointed minister of the episcopal congregation at Leith. In September 1745, when Charles Edward Stuart was on his descent from the Highlands, Forbes was one of three episcopal clergymen who were arrested at St. Ninians, near Stirling, suspected of intending to join the rebels, confined in Stirling Castle till 4 February 1746, and in Edinburgh Castle until 29 May. In 1762 the episcopal clergy of Ross and Caithness elected him their bishop, and he was consecrated at Forfar on 24 June by the Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church, William Falconer, with Bishops Andrew Gerard and Alexander. He continued to live at Leith, but made two visitations of his northern flock in 1762 and 1770. This edition of his Journals of his visitations, edited by Rev. J.B. Craven, includes a history of the Episcopal Church in Ross during the 18th century and a brief memoir of Bishop Forbes. The book is bound in the original dark green cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with shelf wear and some light soiling on the boards. The spine ends are bumped with wear and a little damage to the cloth on the spine ends. The contents are tight and clean with a a few pages near the start of the book having short pencil lines or marks on the fore margin. A name has been written on the half-title page and back of the front free endpaper and there is a bookplate on the front fixed endpaper. This copy appears to have been in the library of the Scottish historian R.W. Munro, and loosely inserted at the end of the book is a letter to Munro from Aubrey Halford-MacLeod (1914-2000), a retired diplomat who lived in Harris.

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Reprint. 1975. Reprint in three volumes. xiii, 382pp. and a facsimile of the original title-page; x, [i], 380pp.; xviii, [i], 416pp. This is a collection of papers, correspondence, extracts from journals, etc. relating to Prince Charles Edward Stuart at the ti…me of the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745. It was formed between 1746 and 1775 by Robert Forbes (1708-1775), later Bishop of Ross and Caithness, who was an ardent Jacobite, and was taken prisoner at Stirling before the rebellion started. While in prison he collected and wrote down the narratives of his fellow prisoners who had played an active part in the affair; and after his release in 1746, he continued to record and confirm the stories of many who had participated in the '45. The work consisted of ten volumes in manuscript, dated from 1747 to 1775, and the first extracts were published in 1834 under the title of Jacobite Memoirs, by Robert Chambers, from the originals in the Advocates' Library, Edinburgh. The present complete edition, edited from the original Manuscript and with a Preface by Henry Paton, was first published in 1895. The three volumes are uniformly bound in the original dark blue boards with gold titling on the spines. The cases of the book are in very good condition with light bumping to the bottom of the spines. The contents are tight and clean with no inscription. Volume 3 has some bumping and creasing across the top corner of pages 203 to 260 that is light near the start and end of these pages but fairly heavy and noticeable to pages 211 to 228. The leaf containing pages 175 and 176 in volume 3 has a hole of about 3/4" x 1 1/4" near the bottom edge that affects some of the words on the bottom three lines, and the missing words have been written in pencil on the bottom margin. The dustwrappers have shelf wear with some light soiling and rubbing to the spine corners. There are two tears of about 1/4" with creasing between them on the top rear edge of the wrapper for volume 1 and a tear of about 1/4" on the top front spine corner of the wrapper for volume 3. The flaps have not been price clipped although there is a small stain over the printed price where a later price sticker has probably been removed. PLEASE NOTE: This is a heavy set and extra postage will apply.
