Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the infamous Porteous Riots of 1736, where Captain John Porteous, leader of the Edinburgh City Guard, was lynched by a furious mob. The author examines the historical context of the event, the social and economic tensions of 18th-century Scotland, and investigates the roots of the public's hatred for the Captain. It analyzes the motivations of the rioters and the Crown's subsequent response. The book provides a detailed account of the riot and its aftermath, shedding light on the complexities of justice and authority in that era. Through the Porteous Riots, it explores broader themes of class conflict, political unrest, and the precarious nature of order in 18th-century Britain. The author's insights offer a valuable perspective on the social and political dynamics that shaped this tumultuous period in Scottish history.
