Book Synopsis Scotland in the Age of Improvement by : Nicholas T. Phillipson
Book excerpt: Despite signing the Act of Union in 1707, Scotland remained very much a law unto herself, economically, politically, socially and culturally. This work explores the basis of government, law politics, education, religion and ideology in this fertile period, and offers explanations for some of the cultural and economic achievements this "semi-independent country" witnessed in the 18th century.
