Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Andrew Michael Ramsay (January 9, 1686 May 6, 1743), commonly called the Chevalier Ramsay, was a Scottish-born writer who lived most of his adult life in France. Baronet in the Jacobite Peerage. Ramsay was born in Ayr, Scotland, the son of a baker. He served with the English auxiliaries in the Netherlands, and in 1710 visited François Fénelon, who converted him to Roman Catholicism. He remained in France until 1724 writing politico-theological treatises. One of these was dedicated to the Jacobite claimant to the English and Scottish thrones, James Francis Edward Stuart. In January 1724, Ramsay was sent to Rome as tutor to James'' two sons, Charles Edward and Henry. But his appointment was short-lived; Ramsay was associated with the court party of John Erskine, Duke of Mar, who fell from favour that year. By November 1724 Ramsay was back in Paris. Ramsay was in England in 1730, and received an honorary degree from the University of Oxford.
