Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the 1832 case that brought the Scottish Peerage under scrutiny. The author explores the claims of Alexander Humphrys, who asserted his right to the Earldom of Stirling, evoking a dormant peerage, and his entitlement to swathes of land in North America, based on the charters granted to Sir William Alexander in the 17th century. The book sets this claim against the backdrop of the colonization of Nova Scotia and Canada during the 17th and 18th centuries, which included selling land grants to raise funds for settlers, and the establishment of the Order of Nova Scotia Baronets. This book delicately unpacks law, politics, and history to illustrate the intricacies of Scottish law and the wider issues of land ownership, peerage, and the role of the aristocracy within a changing world. The author expertly conveys the legal complexities and the historical context, making this book accessible for the general reader, while also providing insightful analysis of the case which will appeal to those interested in Scottish history, the evolution of law, and the nature of the aristocracy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334668302_0
