STUART (Gilbert).
The history of Scotland, from the
establishment of the Reformation, till the death of Queen Mary.
In two volumes.
Dublin: Printed for W. Gilbert, T. Walker, J. Beatty,
R. Burton, J. Exshaw, P. Byrne, and J. Cash,
1782
FIRST IRISH EDITION, pages (19), (1, blank), 489, (1, blank):
(23), (1, blank), 448, 2 vols, 8vo, original boards, uncut, the
spines worn, one board loose, with remains of original
manuscript labels, entirely uncut and mostly unopened, possibly
a remainder binding, with the bookplate of the Ramsgate
Monastery, Kent, in both volumes.
First published at London in the same year, this proved to be one of
Stuart’s most successful books, thanks in part to his sympathetic portrait
of Mary Queen of Scots, and was republished several times and
translated into European languages. Having read the work, John
Wesley recorded in his journal for 1786, that Stuart was “a writer
indeed! as far above Dr. Robertson as Dr. Robertson is above [John]
Oldmixon. He proves beyond all possibility of doubt that the charges
against Queen Mary were totally groundless; that she was... one of the
most blameless, yea, and the most pious women. ” This Dublin printing
is uncommon.
