In our becoming, we are affected by an incredible number of beings who aid and foster our growth. It would be impossible to devise a list of all such individuals. However, those who played imperative roles in the creation of this work deserve their due recognition. First, I would like to thank my partner, Leena, and our pets Merleau and the late Kiki.

BEATTIE’S THE MINSTREL: A MISSING LINK IN SCOTTISH POETRY Ian C. Robertson James Beattie’s poem The Minstrel (1771-1774) has a recognized place in the development of Romantic poetry, but anthologists and critics often seem to forget the extent to which it was also an authentically Scottish poem. Part of the problem has been accessibility, though reliable editions are now available.1 Where Beattie is represented in Scottish anthologies, it has usually been through lesser or atypical poems, rather than through his most important work, and the same is true of many general Romantic anthologies. The extensive group of poets, Scots and otherwise, affected by The Minstrel, indicates the widespread influence of Beattie’s poem on both sides of the border.2 Recent decades have seen welcome scholarly reappraisal of the variety of mid-eighteenth-century Scottish poetry. -

Politically engaged environmental histories with a global perspective can play a central role in addressing these contempo- rary concerns by exploring the historical dimensions of our shared crisis. This series encourages scholarship from the sciences, social sciences, and humanities that, crosses disciplines and reconceptualises the way we think about human-nature relations in time and space. It promotes historical studies that investigate all parts of the globe and all manner of environments, periods and concerns, especially in the global south, including topics such as arable and non-arable landscapes, the built environment, the Anthropocene, atmospheric and hydrological systems and animal-human interactions. We welcome, in particular, frameworks which can link environmental histories with science and technology studies. -
French Travellers to Scotland, 1780-1830
French Travellers to Scotland, 1780-1830: An Analysis of Some Travel Journals. Elizabeth Anne McFarlane Submitted according to regulations of University of Stirling January 2015 Abstract. This study examines the value of travellers’ written records of their trips with specific reference to the journals of five French travellers who visited Scotland between 1780 and 1830. The thesis argues that they contain material which demonstrates the merit of journals as historical documents. The themes chosen for scrutiny, life in the rural areas, agriculture, industry, transport and towns, are examined and assessed across the journals and against the social, economic and literary scene in France and Scotland. Through the evidence presented in the journals, the thesis explores aspects of the tourist experience of the Enlightenment and post - Enlightenment periods. The viewpoint of knowledgeable French Anglophiles and their receptiveness to Scottish influences, grants a perspective of the position of France in the economic, social and power structure of Europe and the New World vis-à-vis Scotland. The thesis adopts a narrow, focussed analysis of the journals which is compared and contrasted to a broad brush approach adopted in other studies. ii Dedication. For Angus, Mhairi and Brent, who are all scientists. iii Acknowledgements. I would like to thank my husband, Angus, and my daughter, Mhairi, for all the support over the many years it has taken to complete this thesis. I would like to mention in particular the help Angus gave me in the layout of the maps and the table. I would like to express my appreciation for the patience and perseverance of my supervisors and second supervisors over the years. -
Hume's Pride Or Our Prejudice?
24 Hume’s Pride or Our Prejudice? A New Take on Hume’s Love of Fame Nathan Porter University of Utah Abstract This paper examines David Hume’s desire for fame in his eighteenth-century context. It argues that in his day, a desire for fame was not at all reproachable, because it was to be won by doing something great for the world. In Hume’s case, this seems to have been the act of liberating humankind from religious tyranny. The paper further argues that our instinctive distaste for Hume’s unabashed longing for fame is likely an unintended byproduct of the democratic societies we inhabit, and suggests that we ought to rethink the idea of fame within our own context. Introduction Of all of the thinkers of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, none has been more influential or garnered more infamy than David Hume. Born in Scotland in 1711, he began work on his magnum opus, A Treatise of Human Nature, while he was still in his early twenties, publishing it with little initial success in 1739.1 He tried his hand at essay writing, which proved a more publically fruitful endeavor than his more heavy-handed philosophizing. But the work that was most acclaimed in his day was his six-volume History of England, which turned out to be quite a popular success among his contemporaries. History has its way of turning the tables, however, and today Hume is primarily known for the works in which he presented radically skeptical views about religion, the world, and even rationality itself. -
Thomas Reid Edited by Terence Cuneo and Rene´ Van Woudenberg Frontmatter More Information
Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-81270-2 - The Cambridge Companion to: Thomas Reid Edited by Terence Cuneo and Rene´ van Woudenberg Frontmatter More information the cambridge companion to THOMAS REID Each volume of this series of companions to major philoso- phers contains specially commissioned essays by an inter- national team of scholars, together with a substantial bibli- ography, and will serve as a reference work for students and nonspecialists. One aim of the series is to dispel the intimi- dation such readers often feel when faced with the work of a difficult and challenging thinker. Widely acknowledged as the principal architect of Scot- tish common sense philosophy, Thomas Reid is increasingly recognized today as one of the finest philosophers of the 18th century. Combining a sophisticated response to the skepti- cal and idealist views of his day with a robust realism about mind, world, and value, Reid’s thought stands as an impor- tant alternative to Humean skepticism, Kantian idealism, and Cartesian rationalism. This volume is the first compre- hensive overview of Reid’s output and covers not only his philosophy in detail but also his scientific work and his ex- tensive historical influence. New readers will find this the most convenient and ac- cessible guide to Reid currently available. Advanced students and specialists will find a conspectus of recent developments in the interpretation of Reid.

The OLL website has a large collection of material about individual liberty, limited constitu- tional government, the free market, and peace. Texts are initially put online in a form which duplicates the way the books were originally published. They have been converted to electronic format but no change in the content has been made by the edi- tors. We begin with a facsimile PDF of the original book and make electronic versions from that archival version of the text, typically in HTML, text based PDF, ePub, and Kindle formats. THE “BLUE BOOK” ANTHOLOGIES, on the other hand, are collections of texts which we have drawn from the books in the OLL. We have taken material by a particular author or on a particular theme and created our own, original anthologies. We have done this in order to make material which was scat- tered and difficult to find more accessible to our readers. COPYRIGHT & FAIR USE.
