  Scrapbook regarding the Jacobite Rebellion, 1746, (bulk 1746-1762)

  Rare Books

  Collection of materials relating chiefly to the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745. Contains approximately 275 broadsides, pamphlets, newspapers, maps, prints, portraits and manuscripts. Some materials relate to the Rebellion of 1715, and a few refer to end of the First English Civil War in 1646. The collection focuses on the state trials and executions of the rebel lords in 1745-1746. A manuscript preface to the contents states that the collection was begun in 1819 by W.D. Fellowes under the patronage of Sir Peter Burrell, 1st Baron Gwydyr (1754-1820), Deputy Great Chamberlain of England. Burrell's death prevented the presentation of the collection to him. Fellowes also states that he has similar collections of state trials ready for binding on the subjects of The Duchess of Kingston, Lord Byron, and Lord Ferrers. A further collection of the trials of Warren Hastings and Queen Caroline are already bound. The manuscript is signed and dated February 1828. The materials were mounted on 314 leaves (56 x 36 cm) and bound into a single volume. The pages of the printed books have been cut apart and inlaid and many are interfiled with prints and manuscripts. Originally bound in brown leather with colored leather inlays and gilt stamping. The volume has been disbound and the 314 numbered leaves foldered and housed in two clamshell boxes. The original binding has been retained and is housed in a separate box. A selected number of the printed titles have been cataloged separately and may be searched in the catalog.
