At the close of the seventeenth century, a small Scottish venture in the Darien jungle threatened to redraw the map of empire. History turns on fragile ventures. In A Defence Of The Scots Settlement At Darien, journalist and polemicist George Ridpath mounts a spirited case for the Company of Scotland Trading's project on the isthmus of Panama. This seventeenth century political pamphlet and economic and political treatise sets out the legal, commercial and strategic foundations of the Darien scheme Scotland promoted as a gateway to global trade. Ridpath answers the Spanish memorial protesting the colony, offers a detailed description of the country and harbour, and supplies a particular account of the Scots settlers themselves. Set against fierce English Spanish imperial rivalry and central america colonization history, his tract urges England to protect the settlement, anticipating later debates around the union of England Scotland and the fate of late seventeenth century Britain. As a scots panama colony defence by a contemporary observer, it is an essential primary source edition and enduring academic reference book for historians of empire, law and trade. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Ideal for readers seeking a scottish colonial history book and for scholars of empire, this heritage volume keeps the Darien scheme Scotland attempted vivid for modern readers and collectors of classic political writing.
