This is the first reset edition of Henderson's The Life of William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland (1766). Henderson wrote two open letters to Samuel Johnson, criticizing his account of Scotland and the Scottish character as well as taking a side-swipe at Smollet. These too are included together with a new introduction to Henderson and his works.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Facsimile reprint for the Roxburghe Club, with a foreword by WIlliam Rees-Mogg, of a version of the Life of William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland; originally written by the author in 1766. Covers the whole life story of the man sometimes known as the Butcher and/or Sweet William following the battle of Culloden. At the end of the book there are copies of two letters by the author to Dr. Samuel Johnson. This is a rather elegantly understated publication with bottle green cloth boards and gilt (gold) titles at the head and tail of the spine. Internally, the condition is overall very sound with a small amount of wrinkling of some of the book's preliminary pages (and a little of the main text) in the top right-hand corner. pp. xxx, 318/8vo (medium octavo). Please note that, depending on destination, we may request an additional payment to cover any extra shipping/postage charges. Proceeds to Amnesty International. Abe2339.
