However, it raises the question of whether Craig’s undoubted reputation as a writer has led to a misleading assessment of his prominence as an advocate in the legal profession of his day. A. INTRODUCTION Thomas Craig (c 1538–1608) is best known to posterity as the author of Jus Feudale and as a commissioner appointed by James VI in 1604 to discuss the possi- bility of a union of laws between England and Scotland.1 Following from the latter enterprise, he was the author of De Hominio (published in 1695 as Scotland”s * Lecturer in Law, University of Glasgow. The research required to complete this article was made possible by an award under the research leave scheme of the Arts and Humanities Research Board and the author is very grateful for this support. He also wishes to thank Dr Sharon Adams, Mr John H Ballantyne, Dr Julian Goodare and Mr W D H Sellar for comments on drafts of this article, the anonymous reviewer for the Edinburgh Law Review, and also the members of the Scottish Legal History Group to whom an early version of this paper was presented in October 2003.

Department of Vl\ S The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT From narrow partisan attacks on his political and religious views to more so• phisticated discussions of his mode of historical writing, British writers in the first half of the nineteenth-century responded in various ways to David Hume's History of Eng• land. The response to Hume's history represented both continuity and change. Nine• teenth-century writers introduced a new dimension to the discourse on Hume's history while continuing the political and religious controversies that began with the publica• tion of Hume's work in 1754.

This was primarily due to its strategic importance as the northern gateway into the Hebrides to the west, and Caithness and Sutherland to the north. The power derived from the earldom’s strategic situation was enhanced by the status of its earls. From 1215 to 1372 the earldom was ruled by an uninterrupted MacTaggart comital dynasty which was able to capitalise on this longevity to establish itself as an indispensable authority in Scotland north of the Forth.

Questions of scope, evalua­ tion vs. description, and the like must be addressed by every bibliographer regardless of subject. Middle Scots bibliography presents all of the problems common to bibliography generally, but, in addition, it contains several which are uniquely its own, the result of cultural and historica1 factors of long duration.
