Description

viii, 272 pages. Bibliography. Index. Footnotes. "Pursues the story of the militia issue and its intellectual significance from its introduction into political debate before the Union by Andrew Fletcher of Saltoun. Demonstrates the extent to which the themes of Scottish political debate were absorbed and generalised in the thought of the Enlightenment. Argues that the philosophy of the Enlightenment was not only a reflection of Scottish social experience but also yielded critical and enduring lessons for Scottish political life." - dust jacket. Clean and unmarked with light wear. Binding intact. A quality copy. Book
