The Scottish Act of Union
1706 (6 December) a printed letter from the Commission of the General Assembly to the Presbytery of Hamilton, telling them all will be well with discussions for the union with England. But reply from the people in Hamilton states that are not at all happy with this intended Union stating "As to the Disposition of the People, the plain Truth is, That they are generally most adverse from the Union; and many have expressed themselves broadly against it, as what they fear may prove an irremediable Evil". In the end, England was able to sway the mood by throwing a lot of money into the pot. Black letter press printing, size 7¾x12½ inch; some aging and paper splitting. A very topical document. Photo
