Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Work of Duncan McLaren, Vol. 2 Mr. McLaren´s active participation in the Anti-Com-Law agitation made his name almost as well known in political circles in England as it was in Scotland. When he went to London on League business in 1842, he was in correspondence with Lord Brougham, probably the most distinguished amongst the statesmen and jurists who had left Scotland for the wider sphere of English public life. To this period belongs the following note, dated Tuesday, 8th February 1842: - "The Edinburgh Conference petition id will be presented in the House of Lords this evening soon after five. If Mr. McLaren wishes to be present, and will come then. Lord Brougham will take care to have him admitted below the bar." Lord Brougham did not cooperate with the League, and was opposed to, rather than a supporter of, the thoroughgoing nature of its policy; but he welcomed Mr. McLaren as a citizen of Edinburgh whose work and character had gained his esteem, with whom he had held confidential political correspondence, and who, in former years, had engaged his humanitarian sympathies in the cause of Prison Reform in Scotland.
