An Apology for Sir James Dalrymple: of Stair, President of the Session is a book written by James Dalrymple himself in 1825. The book is a defense of his ancestor, Sir James Dalrymple, who was the President of the Session in Scotland during the late 17th century. Sir James was a controversial figure in Scottish history and was accused of being involved in the persecution of Covenanters, who were a group of Scottish Presbyterians who opposed the Church of England's influence in Scotland.In the book, James Dalrymple argues that his ancestor was wrongly accused of these crimes and that he was actually a fair and just judge who upheld the law. He also provides a detailed account of Sir James's life and career, including his role in the Glencoe Massacre and his involvement in the drafting of the Act of Union between Scotland and England.Overall, An Apology for Sir James Dalrymple is a historical defense of a controversial figure in Scottish history and provides insight into the political and legal landscape of Scotland during the late 17th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
