Excerpt from Sidelights on the History, Industries and Social Life of ScotlandIn respect of their subject - matter, the score of essays contained in this volume divide themselves into two distinct classes. Those that have been brought to gether in the first part deal with certain matters of intrinsic interest, though of minor importance, in the history of Scotland, or with individuals connected with it as secondary and therefore comparatively little known characters. The second part consists of a number of papers that convey some notion of the social and industrial condition of the country, mainly, though not quite exclusively, prior to the Union. It will also be found that the studies which constitute the first section fall into two separate groups. The former of these is illustrative of the relations between Scotland and F rance under the reigns of James I and James II. For the latter, materials have been gathered from that of James IV.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
