Set against the background of post-revolution Scottish ecclesiastical politics, this book addresses the hitherto largely neglected religious dimension to the debates on Anglo-Scottish Union. Focusing predominantly on the period between April 1706 and January 1707, the book examines the attitudes and reactions of Presbyterians to the treaty and challenges many of the widely held assumptions about the role of the church and other groups during the debate. The focal point of the Kirk's response was the Commission of the General Assembly. Through the extensive use of church records and other primary sources the work of the commission in pursuit of church security through its debates, committees and addresses, is discussed at length. The book also examines the church and groups like the Cameronians and Hebronites in relation to the parliamentary debate, the pursuit of alternatives to incorporation, popular protest, addressing and armed resistance.

This collection brings together a series of papers that in May 2007 were presented at a Royal Society of Edinburgh conference organised to mark the 300th anniversary of the Union of 1707. One of the guiding objectives of the RSE event was to showcase the work of younger historians, and to present new work that would provide fresh insights on this defining moment in Scotland's (and the United Kingdom's) history. The seven chapters range widely, in content and coverage, from a detailed study of how the Church of Scotland viewed union and how concerns about the Kirk influenced the voting behaviour in the Scottish Parliament, through to the often overlooked broader European context in which the British parliamentary union - only one form of new state formation in the early modern period - was forged. The global War of the Spanish Succession, it is cogently argued, influenced both the timing and shape of the British union. Also examined are elite thinking and public opinion on fundamental questions such as Scottish nationhood and the place and powers of monarchs, as well as burning issues of the time such as the Company of Scotland, and trade. Other topics include an investigation of the particular intellectual characteristics of the Scots, a product of the pre-Union educational system, which it is argued enabled professionals and entrepreneurs in Scotland to meet the challenges posed by the 1707 settlement. As one of the contributors argues, union offered the Scots only partial openings within the empire.

This volume of essays explores the intellectual context of the Anglo-Scottish Union of 1707. Challenging the received view of the Union as a simple political job, it argues instead that the Union was a landmark in the history of political thought. It investigates the ideas of union, universal monarchy and empire current in Europe and Britain before 1707, focuses on the issues of sovereignty at the centre of the Union debate itself and concludes by studying the aftermath of the debate in eighteenth-century discussions of Britain's relations to Ireland and the North American Colonies. Underlining the vitality of Scottish intellectual life before the Enlightenment, the volume also gives unprecedented attention to the English view of the Union, to its European setting and to its consequences for the subsequent understanding of the British Empire.

A new, revised edition of this invaluable guide to the background to and causes of the Union of 1707 which, outside Parliament in Edinburgh, was deeply unpopular in Scotland. Extended and re-written in the light of re-establishment of a Scottish Parliament in 1999, the book takes the reader through the maze of competing arguments about why Scots gave up their Parliament in the first place. Professor Whatley's account is dispassionate but also lucid, highly readable and frank in its assessments. Importantly, the book views the Union not only from the Scottish perspective, but also from that of England. It also considers the context of Europe, where political unions were by no means unusual by the early eighteenth century.

Although the Treaty of Union came into force on 1st May 1707, most of the measures leading to it were carried through in 1706. Paul Henderson Scott, who has studied the event for many years, tells the astonishing story, largely in the words of the people involved at the time.

The separate kingdoms of Scotland and England agreed in 1707 to form a united kingdom, to be known as Great Britain, with a combined parliament. The text shown here is the Act passed by the Parliament of Scotland ratifying the articles (treaty) of union. The Parliament of England passed a similar Act later in the same year, formally known today as the Union with Scotland Act 1706 (the apparent discrepancy in dates being due to the different calendars then in use in the two countries). This Act still remains in force as part of the law of Scotland, although a number of the articles have either been repealed or amended since the Act was originally passed. The original document consisted of a preamble (including the enacting formula), and twenty-five articles; these articles are given titles below, which are not part of the original document.

To many minds the question of women in combat is a particularly modern problem. But, as Richard Hall shows in this history, women have been distinguishing themselves on the battlefield for far longer than has been acknowledged in the history books. There were women who went to the Civil War as nurses, "daughters of the regiment," or vivandieres, and those who went disguised as men, but when the fighting began such distinctions were lost and the women would adapt to whatever role was necessary. Many went to be with their boyfriends or husbands, some went out of patriotism, others purely for the adventure. In addition to donning a uniform and cutting their hair, these women often "learned to drink, smoke, chew, and swear with the best, or worst of the soldiers." The wife of one Colonel Turchin even assumed command of a regiment after her husband had been wounded. Some of the other women covered in this ground-breaking account include Jennie Hodgers, the longest serving woman, completed a three-year term of enlistment serving as Albert Cashier. It wasn't until 1911 when she was hurt in an automobile accident, that her identity and sex were discovered; Sarah Emma Edmonds probably had the busiest Civil War. She served as private Franklin Thompson in the 2nd Michigan Infantry Regiment, then as a spy disguised variously as a black man and Irish biddy. Later, when Sarah contracted malaria, Franklin deserted. After recuperating, she wrote Nurse and Spy, a fictionalized account of her adventures as if experienced by a female nurse. The book was a huge success. She resumed the war effort as a female nurse and met Linus Seelye, whom she married after the war's end. --From publisher's description.
