Media Reviews
'Harris has written a history that fills several gaps. The sources, both primary and secondary, are superb. Summing Up: Highly recommended.' CHOICE 'Citing an amazing array of primary sources, he [Harris] can rightly claim that this book take[s] us a deal further into local and regional conditions than other historians have yet managed . This book will contribute to scholarly debate because of its remarkable research and the integrity and evenhandedness with which it is deployed.' Eighteenth-Century Scotland 'The book goes a long way towards filling some of the gaps in our understanding of the political culture of the 1790s. It is clear, concise and thoroughly-researched.' International Review of Scottish Studies 'Harris provides a shrewd and nuanced analysis of Scotland's political culture' English Historical Review
