Excerpt: ... council As they see cause; and being so constitute, may, with consent of the said council, make and enact such rules, ordinances, and constitutions, and imIose such taxes as they think fit and needful for the good of the establishment, improvement, and support of the said colony; providing alway, that they lay no further duties or impositions of trade than what is after stated." One of the councillors, writing at this time to the directors at home, says, "We found the inconvenience of calling a parliament, and of telling the inhabitants that they were freemen so soon. They had not the true notion of liberty. The thoughts of it made them insolent, and ruined command. You know that it's expressly in the 'Encouragements, ' that they are to serve for three years, and at the three years' end to have a division of land." It was the opinion of this director, that no parliament should have been called till at least the three years of servitude had expired. Even then, from the characters of the settlers, who had not been selected with that care which an experiment of such vast consequence demanded, there might have existed causes for delaying the escape. Among the better class, there were too many young men of birth. These were inexperienced and wholly unfit for exercising authority, and equally ill adapted for submitting to it. Among the lower class were many who had been opposed to the Revolution, and who had resorted to the colony purely from dissatisfaction with the government at home. These, instead of submitting with patience to the privations and labour necessary in that state of society in which they were now placed, would gladly have laid aside the mattock and the axe, and have employed themselves in plundering incursions upon the Indians...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Biographical Dictionary of Eminent Scotsmen, Vol. 5 of 4: With a Supplemental Volume, Continuing the Biographies to the Present Time While a national Biography is so fitted to ari est the general attention, and endear itself to the patriotic feelings of those people whose great and good men it commemorates, a national Scottish Biography possesses such advantages of this nature, as must always impart to it an especial interest. For it exhibits a country the least populous in Europe, and originally the most remote and neglected, producing, in spite of these disadvantages, such a multitude of leading minds in every department of thoixght and action, as have advanced it into the very foremost rank of nations, and given it an imperishable name in history. The men by whom such a change has been achieved must have left a memorial of no ordinary importance. Something more, however, than a merely intellectual and historical interest belongs, in a peculiar degree, to Scottish Biography. Those men of whom it is the record, were in most instances of humble origin and scanty resources men who were obliged not only skilfully to use, but in many cases absolutely to create the means by which they were boz ne onward and who yet, by their talents, their energy, and their moral worth, won their way to eminence in every department of human excellence. While patriotism is ennobled and purified by the study of such examples, how persuasive a lesson they contain for the ingenuous youths by whom the manliood of Scotland in a few years will be represented! It is by such reading that they can best be taught by the example of such precursors that they will be best animated and dii ected. In these instances they have full proof, that however adverse their own circumstances are, everything may be compelled to give way to indomitable resolution, unwearing industry, and steady upright integrity. A full national Biography for Scotland, from the earliest period till 1834, was accomplished by the work, the publication of which was completed dui ing that year, under the title of Lives op Illustrious and Distinguished Scotsmen, of which the first four volumes of the present is a re issue. But since the period of its first publication, circumstances have occurred, through which a large addition to the original collection was ui gently demanded.
