The Heart of Mid-Lothian, Complete
The Heart of Mid-Lothian is precisely focused on the trials for murder of John Porteous and of Effie Deans in 1736 and 1737.

...hin history as represented by the life of Deans, and the justice of Providence as perceived by his daughter Jeanie, the greatest of Scott's heroines.******************************************************** Check Out More Great Titles From Dodo Publishing ********************************************************Click on "Dodo Publishing (Editor)" under the title to see a full list of all of our great books!!New titles are being added daily, so be sure to check back often to find more great discounted books!!
