Book Description

Excerpt from The Jacobite Trials at Manchester in 1694: From an Unpublished Manuscript According to Mr. Kingston, the Lancashire plot had the honour not only to be the parent but the companion of all the other conspiracies, and its contrivance was owing to the politics of King James II., who, attering himself with hopes of regaining the crown which he had lost by his mis conduct, concerted with his friends before his departure for France, that they should endeavour to raise a ferment in these kingdoms, and that some trusty person should be commissioned on that errand and for that object.
