Excerpt from Lady Jean: The Romance of the Great Douglas Cause The exciting story of the Douglas Cause, now for the first time related in these pages, has always attracted the attention of sagacious observers, who have followed its mysteries as a tantalising and almost insoluble problem. It is curious that, where almost every romance of the kind has been debated and explored, this should have been completely overlooked for a period of nearly a hundred and forty years. I was lately much interested to find that in the year i 860 the romantic instincts of Thomas Carlyle - that shrewd observer and most dramatic critic - were aroused by a casual encounter with a little book on the subject. He writes to a friend of his discovery. "We got a Book (one of the many Books, I think it is Boswell's) on the Douglas Cause not very long since, and were reading it: I wonder if the Signet Library (should one survive, and have liberty to read for amusement!) has got all the books on that Douglas Cause?
