Scotland and the Union: A History of Scotland from 1695 to 1747 is a comprehensive historical account of Scotland's relationship with England during the period leading up to the 1707 Act of Union. Written by William Law Mathieson, a Scottish historian, this book covers the political, economic, and social factors that led to the eventual union of the two countries. The book begins by examining the political climate in Scotland in the late 17th century, including the Jacobite uprisings and the role of the Scottish Parliament. It then delves into the economic factors that influenced Scotland's decision to join with England, such as the Darien Scheme and the impact of the English Navigation Acts. Mathieson also explores the cultural and social changes that accompanied the Union, including the emergence of a Scottish literary tradition and the effects of the Union on the Scottish Presbyterian Church. The book concludes with an analysis of the political fallout from the Union, including the rise of the Scottish Enlightenment and the Jacobite rebellions of 1715 and 1745. Overall, Scotland and the Union provides a detailed and nuanced account of one of the most significant events in Scottish history. It is an essential read for anyone interested in Scottish history, politics, and culture, as well as the broader history of the British Isles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
