George Ridpath Livres

This work provides a contemporary account of the proceedings of the Scottish Parliament in 1703. It covers debates around issues such as trade and taxation, as well as the response to the Act of Union which had been signed the previous year. The author, George Ridpath, was a journalist and political commentator who was closely involved with the events of the time.

This politically charged treatise defends the Scottish colony at Darien from Spanish attacks and advocates for a renewed focus on Scottish economic interests abroad. Written by a group of prominent Scotsmen, this work provides insight into the economic challenges faced by Scotland in the late 17th century and the political tensions between Scotland and Spain.
