"The Albemarle Papers" offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal period of Scottish history through the correspondence of William Anne Keppel, the Second Earl of Albemarle, who served as Commander-in-Chief in Scotland from 1746 to 1747. This collection primarily features letters written by Albemarle during his command. Supplementing these are letters from Andrew Fletcher, Lord Justice-Clerk, to the Duke of Newcastle, spanning 1746 to 1748, which provide additional context and insight into the political and social landscape of the time. Edited with an introduction, this volume sheds light on military strategies, political maneuvering, and the social conditions in Scotland following the Jacobite rising of 1745, making it a valuable resource for historians and those interested in eighteenth-century British history.
