About the Book

A historical and musical context has been provided for the entire original collection, including specific information, anecdotes, and a bit of musical analysis about each selection chosen to be reprinted herein. This publication will help you to resurrect and relive an eventful and important heritage, important not only to Scotsmen the world over, but also to a great proportion of Americans and others who have good reason to look to the ideas of the Scottish Enlightenment, which have been a fertile source of our spiritual, philosophical, cultural and musical ideas to this day.
