Charles Sanford Terry

Charles Sanford Terry (1864–1936) was a distinguished historian and music scholar who wrote important works on Scottish history and J. S. Bach. In this book, which was first published in 1922, Terry joins together a variety of eighteenth-century sources to construct a narrative of the Jacobite movement during the attempted invasion of 1708 and the Risings of 1715 and 1719. First-hand accounts are presented with minimal editorial interference, allowing those who were involved in the fighting to 'tell its incidents in their own way'. A bibliography, table of notable people, textual notes and illustrative figures are also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the Jacobites and eighteenth-century British history.

Originally published in 1921, this book by distinguished historian Charles Sanford Terry is a streamlined history of Scotland from the Stone Age onwards. The text is aided by genealogical tables of key Scottish families and several maps, including one of the distribution of the Highland clans. This book will be of use to anyone with an interest in Scottish history or who is looking for a good introduction to the subject.

Johann Sebastian Bachs Leben währte fünfundsechzig Jahre - aber das eigentliche Leben seiner Werke setzte erst ein Menschenalter nach seinem Tod ein. Die Zeit hat Bach und sein Werk nicht nivelliert, sondern zu einer nicht wegzudenkenden Grundlage unserer Kultur werden lassen. Charles Sandford Terry zeichnet in seiner Biographie Leben und Lebenswelt, das einzigartige Werk und Wirken des Komponisten nach.
