The Jacobite Songs And Ballads Of Scotland: From 1688 To 1746 (1861) is a book written by Charles Mackay. It is a collection of traditional Scottish songs and ballads that were written during the period of the Jacobite uprisings in Scotland, which took place between 1688 and 1746. The book includes lyrics and musical notation for each song, as well as contextual information about the history and culture of the time. The songs and ballads in the book are all related to the Jacobite cause, which sought to restore the Stuart dynasty to the throne of Scotland and England. They express a range of emotions, from hope and optimism to despair and sorrow, and provide a unique insight into the political and social climate of the time. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Scottish history, culture, and music, and is an important contribution to the study of the Jacobite uprisings.With An Appendix Of Modern Jacobite Songs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
