Written by Lady Rachel Butler, the novel follows Jessie Cameron and Allister Stuart, whose youthful attachment is frustrated by differences in social standing and changing circumstances. Combining Highland character and local colour with a sympathetic portrayal of enduring love and disappointment, the work reflects Victorian literary interest in Scottish regional life. First published in 1857, the novel was favourably received by contemporary critics, particularly for its portrayal of Highland life. This is the second edition, published in the same year as the first, with engraved frontispiece.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJessie Cameron; A Highland Story, by Lady Rachel Butler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePublished by \u003c\/span\u003eWilliam Blackwood and Sons, Edinburgh and London, 1857.
