Excerpt from Prince Charlie, the Young Chevalier The fortunes of Prince Charles Edward Stuart and his friends have been often narrated. And yet, absorbing as is the interest, and striking as are the moral lessons with which this fragment of our English history abounds, I am not aware that it has ever before, in a separate form, been specially brought before young people. Sir Walter Scott's labours were equally bestowed upon the two insurrections of 1715 and 1745. A narrative in which the latter shall be the principal object, and whose facts are drawn from various records, contemporaneous and otherwise, while their treatment is original, and expressly designed for the young folks, will not, therefore, I hope, be deemed superfluous. All history is for our teaching. Hence are duly rehearsed in our ears the sacred records of God's dealings with the elder world, as shown in their history.
