Description
Excerpt from Transactions of the Royal Historical Society, 1913, Vol. 7
The differences between Scottish thought and habit and institutions and those in England only become intelligible when we try to trace their genesis and the interaction 2 of one country upon the other has been an important factor in the modern history of both. Last year,3 and the year before,4 I directed your attention to some points of contrast between English and Scottish history - the late growth of Scottish as compared With English nationality, and the long-continued importance of the family as a unit in Scottish political life. But the contrast in the story of the northern and of the southern part of the island becomes still more striking when we concentrate attention on municipal history.
