Pickle The Spy: Or The Incognito Of Prince Charles is a historical non-fiction book written by Andrew Lang and first published in 1897. The book tells the story of William Gordon, a Scottish Jacobite who was known by the code name ""Pickle the Spy."" Gordon was a double agent who worked for both the British government and the exiled Stuart court in France during the 18th century.The book focuses on Gordon's role in the Jacobite uprising of 1745, which aimed to restore the Stuart dynasty to the British throne. Prince Charles Edward Stuart, the son of the exiled King James II, led the uprising. Gordon claimed to be a loyal supporter of the prince, but in reality, he was passing information to the British government.Lang's book explores the complex web of espionage and betrayal that surrounded the Jacobite cause. He examines the motivations of Gordon and other key players, as well as the political and social context of the time. The book also includes transcripts of letters and other documents related to the Jacobite uprising, providing a detailed and fascinating glimpse into this turbulent period of British history.Overall, Pickle The Spy is a gripping and insightful account of one of the most intriguing figures in Scottish history. Lang's lively prose and meticulous research make this book a must-read for anyone interested in espionage, politics, or the Jacobite uprising.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
