[FIELDING (Henry)]. A Compleat and Authentick History of the Rise, Progress, and Extinction Of the Late rebellion, and of the proceedings against the principal persons concerned therein. Containing A clear and impartial Narrative of the Intrigues of the Pretender's Adherents before the Breaking out of their Design in North-Britain; their Proceedings after their taking Arms; the Actions in that Part of the Island before they march'd Southwards; their March to Derby, and true Reasons of their Retreat; the Dispute at Falkirk, and Motives of their transferring the War into the Highlands; with the principal Causes of their Defeat at Culloden. Interspersed with the Characters of their chief Leaders, and a curious Detail of their Negociations abroad. The whole compos'd with the greatest Accuracy possible in regard to Facts and Dates, and free from all Mixture of fictitious Circumstances, or ill-grounded Conjectures.
London: Printed for M. Cooper..., 1747. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, 200 x 130 mms., pp. [iv], 16, 9 - 155 [156 blank], including half-title, recently rebound in full pigskin; inner margin of half-title and title-page encroaching upon letterpress, some headlines missing from top margins, no final adverts leaf or map, a modest copy. Although the work is attributed to Fielding, it is not the work, thought to be lost until 1934, published in 1745 under the title The History of the Present Rebellion in Scotland, which was sometimes attributed to James MacPherson. The Compleat and Authentick History is based, very loosely, on Fielding's account of the 1745 Jacobite rebellion in Scotland as published in The True Patriot; but it is a separate and different work, with only a very indirect relationship to anything Fielding wrote about the '45. R .C. Jarvis, "Fielding and the Forty-Five," Notes and Queries (Nov. 1956). (Book ref. 6365) £450.00
