Excerpt from Itinerary of Prince Charles Edward Stuart From His Landing in Scotland July 1745 to His Departure in September 1746: Compiled From the Lyon in Mourning, Supplemented and Corrected From Other Contemporary Sources Jacobite army was composed. Any such account, which must be largely compiled from the newspaper reports of the day, cannot pretend to absolute accuracy. It can, however, indicate generally, or with a certain approach to completeness, when and where and in what numbers the various bodies of his adherents joined Prince Charles Edward. In an Additional Note, an endeavour has been made to form an estimate of the troops employed on both sides at critical periods of the campaign, and of the numbers engaged in the several battles. Some original documents showing the tension between the Prince and his principal lieutenant, which had much influence on the conduct of the Expedition, are printed in an appendix.
