Download or read book Miscellany of the Scottish History Society, Volume XV written by Scottish History Society and published by Scottish History Society 6th. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collections of three important early modern documents from Scotland, providing crucial information on life at the time. The Miscellany of the Scottish History Society brings together critical editions of important and previously unpublished manuscripts of relevance to Scottish History. As well as providing transcriptions, the editors introduce and explain the context of documents which have been neglected or even unknown to historians, providing a valuable resource for researchers, students, and all those interested in exploring Scottish history through the originalsources. Volume XV focuses on the turbulent middle decades of the seventeenth century, offering editions of three vital but previously unpublished manuscript sources for this period: the Letter-Book of John Clerk of Penicuik, 1644-1645; the Minute Book of The Board Of The Green Cloth, July 1650 - July 1651; and the Records of the Anglo-Scottish Union Negotiations, 1652-1653. With a particular emphasis on the economic and political history of the period, the records offer valuable insights on trade networks and commodities, and on the upheavals following in the wake of the execution of Charles I. They also help to place Scottish history in a wider British and European context, by highlighting mercantile networks and the negotiations for Anglo-Scottish Union under Oliver Cromwell. Together, they comprise an essential resource for those interested in seventeenth-century history.

Download or read book The Rise and Fall of the City of Money written by Ray Perman and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2019-10-10 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It started and ended with a financial catastrophe. The Darien disaster of 1700 drove Scotland into union with England, but spawned the institutions which transformed Edinburgh into a global financial centre. The crash of 2008 wrecked the city's two largest and oldest banks – and its reputation. In the three intervening centuries, Edinburgh became a hothouse of financial innovation, prudent banking, reliable insurance and smart investing. The face of the city changed too as money transformed it from medieval squalor to Georgian elegance. This is the story, not just of the institutions which were respected worldwide, but of the personalities too, such as the two hard-drinking Presbyterian ministers who founded the first actuarially-based pension fund; Sir Walter Scott, who faced financial ruin, but wrote his way out of it; the men who financed American railways and eastern rubber plantations with Scottish money; and Fred Goodwin, notorious CEO of RBS, who took the bank to be the biggest in the world, but crashed and burned in 2008.

Download or read book Association and Enlightenment written by Mark C. Wallace and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-18 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social clubs as they existed in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Scotland were varied: they could be convivial, sporting, or scholarly, or they could be a significant and dynamic social force, committed to improvement and national regeneration as well as to sociability. The essays in this volume examine the complex history of clubs and societies in Scotland from 1700 to 1830. Contributors address attitudes toward associations, their meeting places and rituals, their links with the growth of the professions and with literary culture, and the ways in which they were structured by both class and gender. By widening the context in which clubs and societies are set, the collection offers a new framework for understanding them, bringing together the inheritance of the Scottish past, the unique and cohesive polite culture of the Scottish Enlightenment, and the broader context of associational patterns common to Britain, Ireland, and beyond.
