"In this series of 'Letters' defending the issuance of Scottish banknotes Scott benefits from his work on Swift by patterning the Malachi Malagrowther letters on Swift's Drapier's Letters" Todd & Bowden p. 621.<br/><br/>"In February 1826 there may have been a degree of calculation in Scott's entering the debate on a government measure introduced to deal with the economic crisis which would have restricted the rights of the Scottish banks to issue their own notes but Scott represented it as a nationalist issue 'the late disposition to change every thing in Scotland to an English model' Journal 94. In February and March he wrote three letters to the editor of the Edinburgh Weekly Journal in which he used the currency issue as an exemplum for the larger tendency. The letters caused a sensation. Ministerial friends were very angry but withdrew the measure. The banks were grateful; taking a lead from his old rival in love William Forbes they agreed to the creation of a trust for the settling of Scott's debts and The Letters of Malachi Malagrowther as the letters are now known is recognized as a classic in political argument" DNB.<br/><br/>A complete set uncommon.

Eighteenth century. Manuscript Plan 16 x 28 inches neatly ruled and tabulated folded old repairs some tears along folds. In need of research. This large official Plan proposes the employment of the Highland Clans in nine Brigades listing in great detail the Clans their Chiefs or Colonels and the number of soldiers in each Brigade. The Remarks at the foot of the Plan make the case for appointing the natural Chief to the head of each Brigade with suggestions for maintaining their loyalty. It will be necessary for Government to give liberal terms to officers and men such as will in some degree at least compensate the sacrifices which the people must necessarily make in quitting their usual occupations and turning out under Arms. unknown
