Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book details the Jacobite Risings of 1715 and 1745 in Scotland and the estates forfeited for alleged treason in both attempts. It compiles previously-dispersed documents, including letters, reports, and petitions, to provide a look at the underlying history, societal impact, and enduring importance of these events. The author focuses on the estates confiscated by the Hanoverian government, and the subsequent efforts to administer and utilize these properties. Special attention is paid to the efforts to balance punishment of the rebels with the need to help their innocent dependents and revitalize the Scottish economy. Additionally, the book explores the role of the established Scottish Presbyterian Church in supporting the Hanoverian cause during the Jacobite Rebellions, offering unique insights into the complex religious and political landscape of 18th-century Scotland.
