This article is the revised text of the first W A Wilson Memorial Lecture, given in the Playfair Library, Old College, in the University of Edinburgh, on 17 May 1995. It considers various visions of Scots law as a whole, arguing that it is now a system based as much upon case law and precedent as upon principle, and that its departure from the Civilian tradition in the nineteenth century was part of a general European trend. An additional factor shaping the attitudes of Scots lawyers from the later nineteenth century on was a tendency to see themselves as part of a larger Englishspeaking family of lawyers within the British Empire and the United States of America.

Supplementary Report

During the Session of 1918–19 a series of communications relating to the national archives of the British Empire and some Allied States was received and has been published in the last volume of the Transactions.1 Since then a further series of communications on this subject has been arranged, and such of these as have come to hand are printed in the following pages. The previous communications dealt with the public records of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, and the State archives of the United States of America, France, and Italy. In the present series the Council hoped to include notices of the archives of the British Dominions and Crown Colonies (including the Channel Islands), Belgium, Portugal, and Serbia,2 together with a supplementary report on the French archives.

One of the finest indications of regionalism in the British Isles is a good course in American history. If no American history is available, a sound grounding in the story of the British Empire should serve much the same purpose. It is surely no accident that the last work of the great British Imperial historian, Sir Reginald Coupland, was a book on Welsh and Scottish nationalism. As one studies the settlement of British peoples overseas and tries to assess the marks which they have made on their adopted countries, one becomes more and more aware of the differences which exist amongst these peoples in their country of origin.
