The titles in this collection incorporate unique personal visions of the thought and culture of late eighteenth-century Scotland. Thomas Somerville, Presbyterian clergyman and historian of English politics, wrote a perceptive memoir of Scottish life. Henry Mackenzie, lawyer and novelist, had an eye for witty anecdotes about the Edinburgh of his day. The colourful Peter Williamson was kidnapped, sold into service in America, and captured by Indians -- but he returned to Scotland to tell his tale. John Jackson, entrepreneur of the dramatic arts, expounded upon his heroic attempts to bring theatre to Glasgow and Edinburgh in spite of religious opposition and legal obstacles. John Ramsay of Ochtertyre produced a vast number of pages about notable Scottish men and women of the age, from which Alexander Allardyce fashioned two classic volumes. William Smellie, Edinburgh printer and natural philosopher, left behind a rich archive of correspondence and manuscripts which Robert Kerr pieced together to form a fascinating memoir. Drawing upon the very different backgrounds and experiences of their authors, each of these six works reveals a distinctive perspective on Scottish culture and society during the second half of the eighteenth century, when the Scottish Enlightenment was in full bloom. All of the titles are rare today, and several of them have never before been reprinted. Each includes a new introduction.

Considered the first significant teacher of rhetoric in America, John Witherspoon also introduced Scottish moral philosophy to this country and as president of Princeton University reformed the curriculum to give emphasis to both studies. He was an active pamphleteer on religious and political issues and a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Editor Thomas P. Miller argues that Witherspoon’s career exemplifies the Ciceronian ideal, and the eight selections Miller presents from the 1802 American edition of the Works corroborate that claim. This paperback edition includes a new preface by the editor that surveys the scholarship published on Witherspoon over the past twenty-five years and discusses how Miller’s own perspective on Witherspoon has changed during that time.

Academic Patronage In The Scottish Enlightenment written by Roger L. Emerson and has been published by Edinburgh University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2008-04-29 with Education categories.

This book considers the politics of patronage appointments at the universities in Glasgow, Edinburgh and St Andrews, exploring the ways in which 388 men secured posts in three Scottish universities between 1690 and 1806. Most professors were political appointees vetted and supported by political factions and their leaders. This comprehensive study explores the improving agenda of political patrons and of those they served and relates this to the Scottish Enlightenment. Emerson argues that what was happening in Scotland was also occurring in other parts of Europe where, in relatively autonomous localities, elite patrons also shaped things as they wished them to be. The role of patronage in the Enlightenment is essential to any understanding of its origins and course.
