The Early History of the Scottish Union Question.

by George W. T. Omond.

"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 grat.i.tude 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._

"His book, modest and unpretentious as it is, is a careful contribution 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._

"A handy, well-written volume."--_Pall Mall Gazette._

"A very interesting, as well as very instructive book."--_Literary World._
