The Crofter in History (Classic Reprint) by Lord Colin Campbell (Paperback / softback, 2015)

Excerpt from The Crofter in History Although the first edition of this Essay was published on the eve of the last General Election, and when I had practically ceased to be member for a Highland county, I thought the time ipportune for publishing it in my own name. Of all mental trainings, that of the House of Commons is perhaps the worst for an historian. Especially is this the case when he sets himself to write on historical questions which touch on questions of practical politics. He will be fortunate if, when he is in such a position, he can save his mind from the warping tendencies of interest, prejudice, or passion, whether in him or around him. That he should be exposed to such influence is alone sufficient perhaps to raise a presumption against the value of his work, and of his fidelity to historical truth.
