Original Black Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good Plus. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good Plus. First Edition. 1986. viii, 452pp. "There the actions and opinions of local magnates had to mesh with the ambitions and loyalties of freeholders to determine the results of elections and the consequent success or failure of the elaborate plans drawn up by national politicians. The great men in London could arrange and compromise; they could obtain a supply of suitable patronage to sustain the candidate whom they favoured. But, as the author clearly shows, their schemes could be thwarted by the freeholders and burgh leaders. The first section of the book gives an overview of patronage and political management in the period; this is followed up by a series of detailed studies of the course of events in a number of key elections. This is an original and eye-opening contribution to our understanding of the workings of politics in eighteenth and early nineteenth-century Scotland, and will be of interest to anyone who enjoys observing the ins and outs of political manoeuvring."

"Gerard Matthew Burns was born in Glasgow in 1961, and graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1983 with a degree in Fine Art. Drawing and painting have been his abiding passion since childhood, when he picked up his first sketchbook. He shared this enthusiasm with children throughout a successful teaching career, eventually leaving his post as principal of art at St Aloysius College in Glasgow to pursue painting full time. Since 1999 this commitment has led to his current standing as one of Scotland's most respected artists". The jacket is covered with removeable clear plastic for protection.
