Nation and Province in the First British Empire: Scotland and the Americas, 1600-1800Bucknell University Press, 2001 - 292 من الصفحات For more than four decades, historians have devoted ever-increasing attention to the affinites that linked Scotland with the American colonies in the eighteenth century. This volume moves beyond earlier discussions in two ways. For one, the geographical coverage of the papers extends beyond the territories that became the United States to include what became Canada, The Carribean and even Africa.
