A Remarkable Escape from the  
Rebel Army 
   
Narrative of a Remarkable Escape from the Rebel Army in  
1745 
  
[following] The recent publication of the Culloden Papers  
... 
  
... I have been induced to look over some papers in my  
possession relating to it that had long lain unattended to.  
Among these a letter, giving an account of a remarkable  
escape from the Rebel army while at Derby ... the Narrative  
has never yet appeared in print, further than a few  
particulars of the occurrence being inserted, rather  
incorrectly, in a small volume printed in a cheap form at  
Carlisle in 1755, entitled, "A Complete History of the  
Rebellion, from its first Rise in 1745, to its total  
suppression in April 1746. By James Ray, of Whitehaven,  
Volunteer under his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland;"  
a publication which, notwithstanding its homely garb and  
style, is not inferior, as a record of facts, to some of  
much higher pretensions.
