The second volume can be found at: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/59469. This 1875 edition originally was published in eight separate books as a subscription publication. The Preface, Title pages, Tables of Contents and Lists of Illustrations (the Front Matter) were published in the final eighth book, and referenced books 1-4 as Volume I, and books 5-8 as Volume II. This etext follows the same two-volume structure. The relevant Front Matter has been moved to the front of each volume, and some illustrations have been moved to where the two Lists of Illustrations indicate they should be. No text was added or changed when the books were seamlessly joined to make Volume I and Volume II. The Index, at the end of Volume II in the original books, has been copied and placed at the end of this first volume as well. Text enclosed by underscores is in italics (_italics_). Footnote anchors are denoted by [number], and the footnotes have been placed at the end of each chapter. A caret character is used to denote superscription. A single character following the caret is superscripted (example: 93^D). Multiple superscripted characters are enclosed by curly brackets (example: 71^{ST}). Some tables in the original book had } or { bracketing in some cells. These brackets are not helpful in the etext tables and in most cases have been removed to improve readability and save table space. Many minor changes to the text are noted at the end of the book. SUPPLIED TO SUBSCRIBERS ONLY. PROSPECTUS. A HISTORY OF THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS, HIGHLAND CLANS, AND HIGHLAND REGIMENTS; ON THE BASIS OF BROWNE’S “HISTORY OF THE HIGHLANDS AND CLANS,” BUT ENTIRELY RE-MODELLED AND TO A LARGE EXTENT RE-WRITTEN.
