Political science has occupied only a\r\nlimited share of my attention, and I have hitherto conducted my peculiar\r\nstudies without the favour of the great. My dedication is prompted on\r\nthese twofold grounds:Bearing in your veins the blood of Scotland's\r\nIllustrious Defender, you were one of the first of your order to join in\r\nthe proposal of rearing a National Monument to his memory; and while\r\nsome doubted the expediency of the course, and others stood aside\r\nfearing a failure, you did not hesitate boldly to come forward as a\r\npublic advocate of the enterprise. Yourself a man of letters, you were\r\namong the foremost who took an interest in the establishment of the\r\nScottish Literary Institute, of which you are now the Presidenta\r\nsociety having for its main object the relief, in circumstances of\r\nvirtuous indigence, of those men of genius and learning who have\r\ncontributed by the pen to perpetuate among our countrymen that spirit of\r\nintelligence and love of freedom which, by his sword, Sir William\r\nWallace first taught Scotsmen how to vindicate and maintain.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 22142 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Rogers, Charles \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jul 25, 2007 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEditor\u003c\/b\u003e: Rogers, Charles, 1825-1890 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Rogers, Charles,1825-1890 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43218018205853,"sku":"gb-22142-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/22142.jpg?v=1671463239","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/the-modern-scottish-minstrel-volume-5-gb-22142","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
