Summary: "Origins of the 'Forty-five' and Other Papers Relating to That Rising" edited by Walter Biggar Blaikie is a historical publication written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the events surrounding the Jacobite rising of 1745, often referred to as the 'Forty-five,' providing insights into its origins and significant figures involved in the rebellion. The book likely aims to explore the political dynamics and motivations behind the uprising, while also examining the broader context of Scottish history during this tumultuous period. The opening of the text includes a detailed preface where the editor acknowledges numerous individuals and entities who contributed insights and documents to the project. Blaikie expresses gratitude to various parties for their permissions to access historical papers, illustrating the collaborative effort that went into compiling this work. The text quickly transitions into discussing pivotal figures such as James Francis Edward Stuart, reflecting on earlier Jacobite efforts and setting the stage for the rising itself. In essence, the beginning presents a rich historical foundation that prepares readers for an in-depth exploration of the political intrigue and cultural significance of the 'Forty-five.'
