Jul. 15th, 2022 09:43 pmLetters and Journals of Mrs Calderwood of Polton, from England, Holland, and the Low Countries, 1756
I've been wanting to read the writings of women involved in the '45 (oh, for Margaret Ogilvy's diary *sigh*), and this is so far the closest I could get. Mrs Margaret Calderwood, née Steuart, is the sister of the James Steuart who wrote manifestos for Charles Edward Stuart, and who also wrote a respected work of economics, An Inquiry into the Principles of Political Economy. He was in exile on the continent after the war, and his sister was travelling to visit him. It has an excellent 19th century introduction detailing their family connections.
( More about the book, which was well worth reading! )
