_The Early History of the Scottish Union Question_




SOME OPINIONS OF THE PRESS ON THE FIRST EDITION.

a most readable and impartial account of the efforts which from the time
of Edward I. went on to weld the two countries into one."--_Edinburgh
Evening News._

"Mr. Omond tells his story brightly and with full
knowledge."--_Manchester Guardian._

"A genuine contribution to British history."--_Dumfries Courier._

"There is much to interest and inform in this volume."--_Liverpool
Mercury._

"The conciseness of the sketch, instead of detracting from the worth of
the work, rather enables the author to give a more vivid description of
the course and progress of events."--_Dundee Advertiser._

"Mr. Omond has laid students of British history under a debt of
gratitude to him for his work on the Scottish Union question."--_Leeds
Mercury._

"Mr. Omond is at home in the struggles which led up to the act of Union
in 1707."--_British Weekly._

to the study of one of the most important features of the history of the
two kingdoms, since 1707 united as Great Britain."--_Liverpool Daily
Post._

"A handy summary of the history of such international relations, written
with an orderly method and much clearness and good sense."--_The
Academy._
