About this book
Sir Thomas Urquhart of Cromartie, Knight discusses its subject's association with the translation of a great French classic. The preface identifies the Scottish knight as the author of original compositions in poetry, trigonometry, genealogy and biography. The account describes a former student's need to avoid compromising old friends by praising them when some had fallen under a cloud.
Sir Thomas Urquhart, senior, promises at his marriage to manage his property so that his heir will receive it as he himself had received it. The account says mismanagement and neglect brought disorder to the senior knight's affairs and financial difficulties to his later years. The account reports a work’s assertion that Hypermnestra married Propetes Urquhart and became the mother of Euplocamos Urquhart.
