Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Course of Lectures, on the Government, Constitution, and Laws of Scotland, From the Earliest Time In the Albert Institute, Dundee, nearly three years ago, I delivered a Course of Seven Lectures on the Government, Constitution, and Laws of Scotland. I adapted these lectures, as far as possible, to a popular audience, and was rewarded with an amount of success far exceeding my most sanguine expectations. Formerly, my intention was to make these lectures the basis of an elaborate work on the History of the Constitution and Legal Institutions of Scotland; but, for the present, I am obliged to abandon my original scheme. To my lectures, however, I have, in the following pages, made several additions, which will, I hope, enable the reader to pursue his studies with greater satisfaction to himself than he could have done had the lectures been printed in the exact form in which they were delivered. In particular, I hope that the translations, in the first lecture, from Caesar and Tacitus, will throw greater light upon a most obscure part of Scottish History than the meagre outline which, in 1875, I adopted from these authors; and that the new matter, in the Sixth and Seventh Lectures, bringing down my subject to the present date, will show pretty clearly what has been done by the legislature since the lectures were delivered.
