Abstract
A scholarly edition of the 85 addresses submitted to the Scottish parliament on incorporating union between October 1706 and January 1707, plus a selection of contemporary letters and an account of the making of the union by Walter Stewart of Pardovan, burgh commissioner for Linlithgow. The book includes a historical introduction to petitioning in early modern Scotland, showing the significance of an addressing campaign involving over 20,000 individuals from 123 national and local bodies. The addresses asserted political, religious and patriotic objections to incorporating union and stimulated a remarkable debate on national opinion and whether the treaty required the direct consent of the political nation.
