Scotland known as Ayrshire a country gentleman whose unusual, not to say extraordinary, traits had made him an object of general interest to his whole county. The estate of this gentleman was known as The Craig. I ts squire was a bachelor, and surely no life could be more ideally bucolic than his. He rode, he shot, he hunted. He was a scholar as well as a gentleman, and his library of some thousands of volumes was stocked with Greek and Latin, French, German and Italian classics, not to mention its adequate equipment of the choicest literature of his own Britain. These books were not merely in his library. They had been read by their possessor a tolerable distinction for a gentlemans library in those days, and in these, too, for that matter. But the scholarly and gentlemanly traits of this oldschool squire, while in themselves a sufficient distinction, had not won for him his peculiar eminence. Xor did he even owe it to the fact that he was the best shot in his county and the most popular landlord in Scotland. This landlord did not believe in landlords. He maintained that the soil of a nation was the inheritance of all its people. He was never weary of repeating that rent should go to the State for the benefit of all. A nother institution which he held in abhorrence was the game law.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a significant philosophical contribution to social and political theory in the 19th century. It proceeds on the assumption that political science can and should progress similarly to the natural sciences. The author argues that true knowledge and reason are the only means by which humans can ameliorate their condition on Earth. False knowledge and beliefs have led to the rise of political superstition, despotism, and oppression throughout history. The text traces the evolution of human progression and knowledge, from a state of ignorance to one of enlightenment, demonstrating how human knowledge and understanding drive political and social progress. The author believed that the ideals of the Enlightenment and the principles of natural duty and justice could lead humanity to a more equitable and harmonious society.
