Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Diary of the Proceedings in the Parliament and Privy Council of Scotland: May 21, MDCC 7, MDCCVII The following Diary may perhaps be thought not to possess as much interest as might have been expected from the opportunities and habits of observation of the writer, and the discussions carried on during the period which it embraces. But it is believed to be the only Record of the fort which has ever been printed. And it undoubtedly affords a very curious and interesting view of national character, and seems to suggest some valuable materials for reflection, on the causes which contribute to form the character of Legislative Bodies, and to create in individuals the spirit, the feelings, and the habits of thought and of action, essential to render the deliberations of such Bodies either useful or dignified. The perusal of this Diary may, perhaps, lead one to think that the remark at p. 194 that "the day was spent in jangling, and nothing done," is applicable to many of the discussions noticed in the Diary. Of the writer of this Diary, I have not been able to obtain much information. But I am indebted to Mr Riddell for some notices respecting him.
