An Apology For Sir James Dalrymple: Of Stair, President Of The Session is a book written by James Dalrymple and published in 1825. The book is a defense of Sir James Dalrymple, who was the President of the Session, one of the highest courts in Scotland, in the late 17th century. The author, who was a descendant of Sir James Dalrymple, argues that his ancestor was unfairly maligned by historians and political opponents, and that his contributions to Scottish law and politics were significant and worthy of recognition. The book provides a detailed account of Sir James Dalrymple's life and career, including his role in drafting the Act of Union between Scotland and England, and his controversial decision to support the deposition of King James VII in favor of William of Orange. The author also presents a defense of Sir James Dalrymple's legal philosophy, which emphasized the importance of individual rights and the rule of law. Overall, An Apology For Sir James Dalrymple: Of Stair, President Of The Session is a historical and legal treatise that seeks to rehabilitate the reputation of a controversial figure in Scottish history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
