Gilt ruled red leather spine label. Marbled boards. New end pages. Fine binding and cover. Pages lightly tanned. Lord Provost of Edinburgh in 1745 Archibald Stewart tried to organize an effective defense of Edinburgh against Prince Charles Edward who attempted to retake the English and Scottish crowns in the Jacobite Uprising in 1745. He felt it treason to raise troop without the King's warrant and sent for the King's Sanction. This request was granted and received 8 days prior Prince Charles entered Edinburgh. However though troops were raised Charles entered the city without much difficultly after negotiations failed. Stewart was afterwards arrested and taken before the Privy Council in London on 7 Dec. The consent of the House of Commons to his detention having been obtained on 10 Dec. he was imprisoned in the Tower from 13 Dec. 1745 till 23 Jan. 1747 when he was released on bail. Charged with neglect of duty and misbehavior in the execution of his office he was found not guilty on 2 Nov. 1747 after a protracted trial in Edinburgh. Though Stewart was marked by the Whigs as a traitor among some of his supporters was David Hume who wrote a pamphlet in 1748 called The True Account of the Behaviour and Conduct of the Archibald Stewart Esq. It was found later that what allowed Prince Charles to overtake the city with virtually no opposition was that the 2nd deputation upon returning from another failed negotiation was followed by Donald Cameron of Lochiel with half the Prince's army and upon the gate being lifted to allow them to enter Lochiel seized the opportunity and stormed the gate taking the city bloodlessly.
