" James Johnstone (1719- 1800), also known as Chevalier de Johnstone, and who sometimes signed himself as Johnstone de Moffatt was an army officer who took part in the Jacobite Rising of 1745 and the Seven Years War. Johnstone joined the Jacobite Army in Perth shortly after the raising of the standard at Glenfinnan in 1745. He was twenty-six years old, and according to John Prebble, was as proud of his kinship with Scots nobility as any Highlander. He served as aide-de-camp both to Lord George Murray and to Charles Edward Stuart, and fought with the Jacobites through the remainder of the campaign. He was present at the Battle of Culloden and, according to his memoirs, charged to within 20 yards of the Government lines before taking flight with the rest of the Jacobites. After Culloden, Johnstone had a number of narrow escapes, he hid in the Highlands for a while before deciding to venture to Edinburgh where he had more friends who could aid his escape. He later went to London, finally making his way to Holland disguised as a servant to Lady Jean Douglas. " Hardback in very good condition with clean pages throughout and securely bound.
