Charles Sanford Terry (1864-1936), Historian and Bach Scholar.He studied at St. Pauls Cathedral Choir School as a solo boy, King's College and Lancing. He studied history at Cambridge and lectured in history at Durham College of Science and at Aberdeen. He spent much of his life devoted to Music and to Bach in particular. He started choral societies in both Newcastle and Durham. He wrote extensively on Bach. Walter Emery said that his biography of Bach was "the only one that is both detailed and readable". I have a theory that it is easier to read books by musicians who were trained in English or history.

This book, first published in 1922, uses a variety of eighteenth-century sources to construct a narrative of the Jacobite movement during the attempted invasion of 1708 and the Risings of 1715 and 1719. First-hand accounts are presented with minimal editorial interference, allowing those who were involved in the fighting to 'tell its incidents in their own way'.

Originally published in 1921, this book by distinguished historian Charles Sanford Terry is a streamlined history of Scotland from the Stone Age onwards. The text is aided by genealogical tables of key Scottish families and several maps, including one of the distribution of the Highland clans.
