- Double-weighted statement
- This 95,000-word book is based on original research into a large volume of manuscript administrative and legal primary sources held at twenty separate British archives, from Bristol to Inverness. The author developed palaeographical and Latin skills in order to transcribe the mostly handwritten material, and complemented this research by reading though some directly relevant printed primary sources. The Scottish records were handwritten in Scots, which involved in-depth textual analysis to compare them meaningfully with the English sources. Moreover, the Scottish material had to be analysed in substantially different legal and administrative contexts as it was a separate state before 1707.
