The last armed uprising on British soil, intent on severing the Union and establishing a radical Scottish republic, ended in executions, imprisonments, transportations and 85 trials for high treason. Yet despite its political and social importance, the story of this working class revolution vanished from the historical record. This book restores the radical rising to its rightful place in history, offering an incisive analysis of the rising itself and the events which led up to it, vividly recapturing the extraordinary heroism of its leaders, John Baird and Andrew Hardie, and the savagery with which the movement was crushed by the forces of the British state. Seumas Mac a'Ghobhainn (1930-87), strove for an independent Scottish nation and sought the full restoration of the Gaelic language in Scottish life. Historian, biographer and novelist Peter Berresford Ellis read the eulogy at his memorial service.…

First Thus. Octavo. 20cm. Publisher's dark blue cloth titled in gilt to spine, over blue paper covered boards. Lacking dustjacket. 130pp.; 142pp. [1pp.] ads to rear. Pagination essentially the result of two sets of first edition sheets being bound together, including original title pages and the ads to the rear of the Second Series. Light scuffing to the corners with a bit of stripping away of the paper, some soiling and thumbing to the boards in places and some minor bumping and softening to the spine ends; internally clean, fore and bottom edges untrimmed. A very good copy. An oddly produced volume, edited by Hugh McDiarmid under the name of C.M. Grieve, and originally issued between 1920 and 1921 to showcase the contemorary voices of Scottish poetry.

A charming and rather peculiar collection of carefully chosen poetry and poets.…

Issued in two series between 1920 and 1922, with a single volume edition (essentially just both first edition volumes bound together, including their title pages) distributed at the end of 1922.…
