Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of Scotland, Vol. 6 of 6: Translated From the Latin; With Notes, and a Continuation to the Present Time
Looxmo down from the eminence on which we now stand, with all the advantages of time, and with a full view of the consequences before us, we wonder that an object of such evident utility, and productive of such important bene fit to Scotland, as the union of the. Two kingdoms, should ever have encountered such virulent and unremitting oppo sitiou as attended its progressa - should ever have been branded as a disgrace, or predicted as the min of the na tion it was destined to raise from poverty to wealth, and from insignificance to an importance in the European fami ly, which, without that conjunction, it could never have hoped to attain. But in order properly to understand this opposition, we must transport ourselves back to the days of our fathers, revive their prejudices, enter into their feelings.
