How difficult would it have been to recognise the authority of the Assembly. What a foolish man Lindsay was.

Thank you for highlighting this. May I ask, but can you recommend anything related to slavery and HEICS?

I needed away from it’s bile and all too frequent racism. But Bluesky feels a bit bland. All too consensual. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ perhaps we’re never happy.

This all sounds very positive. What a good start to the day.

Nothing to see here, just a lawyer, "full of claret", arguing against his client then suddenly reverse ferreting in court after being told he was making the wrong argument ... #LegalHistory #Scotland

"The Douglas Cause" - a collection of legal case notes attributed to Lord Eliock Beginning 16th Bid Live on Lot 34 in the Books & Manuscripts Auction from Lyon & Turnbull.

Possible judge's notes re the Douglas Cause up for auction. If you've not heard of the Douglas Cause, it's an amazing 1760s inheritance case involving potentially purchased babies, poverty, and high society drama (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas...)

Happy #ChristianAidBookSaleEve to all who celebrate!
The book elves have been hard at work these last few weeks sorting, sifting, pricing and arranging the monumental piles of bound and printed goodies for sale, as they have most every year since it all began way back in 1973 πŸ“šπŸ§
