PREFACE: The Lyon in Mourning is a collection of Journals, Narratives, and Memoranda relating to the life of Prince Charles Edward Stuart at the subsequent to the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745. The Formation of this collection was to a great extent the life-work of the Rev. Robert Forbes, M. A., Bishop of Ross and Caithness. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
