To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Death was inflicted for ADAM SMITH. 103 petty thefts, imprisonment awarded without warrant or prospect of release, except when the local magnate vras pacified. The peasantry seem to have acquiesced, or at most to have avenged themselves only by making strange charges of sorcery against their lords.
These rights were abolished after the afiair of 174.5, not, it seems, because they were deemed unreasonable in themselves, but because they were abused, and made subservient to rebellion. Slavery, ho...wever, pre- vailed in Scotland till after Smithes death, for the Colliers and Salters, who were excepted by name from the Scotch Habeas Corpus Act of 1701, were only finally emancipated in 1799.
If the rural districts were thus under the dominion of the lairds, who had appropriated the land of their clansmen, and had engrafted a rigid system of entails on the ancient tenures of the country, the boroughs were in no better plight. The property and revenues of these boroughs, the right of local taxation, patron- age, jurisdiction, and the election of representatives to Parliament, were in the hands of small self-elected bodies.
