Description:Excerpt from John Graham of Claverhouse: Viscount of Dundee, 1648 1689 It is nearly half a century since Napier's Life and Times of John Graham of Claverhouse appeared. That work, tantalising in its arrangement, provocative in its tone, furnished a mass of material wherewith to test the accuracy of facts which, unchallenged, had acquired a prescriptive right of association with Claverhouse and his career. Since Napier's frenzied work was published nothing has been written to displace him from his position as the one available and exhaustive source of information upon the subject. A single considerable effort has been made to deal with Claverhouse's career and character (Clavers: The Despot's Champion, by 'a Southern': Longmans, 1889), but professedly the authoress's aim was to rearrange Napier's materials rather than to offer fresh ones. The present work is an attempt to marshal the large amount of untouched material, bearing directly or indirectly upon Claverhouse's career, which has accumulated. The nature and sources of it are sufficiently indicated in the notes to this volume. But it may be observed, that while a great proportion of it has been published only recently, an appreciable amount of it was available to Napier, and was overlooked by him. The remark applies also to various MS. sources which have been hitherto untapped. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
