The adventures in question are those of Denis Lyndale while staying,
first at Liberty Hall on the high road between Derby and Chester, and
afterwards at Cathendean, in the hilly district of the Peak, and are
closely connected with the rising of 1745 and the retreat of Prince
Charles Edward from Derby to the north again.
