This book aims to cover two main gaps in the research on Scotland in the 1790s: While much work has been done on radicalism, comparatively less work has been carried out on loyalism, and no work has been published focusing specifically on the government’s supporters in Scotland – the loyalists. This book does that. Second, while considerable work has been carried out on individual issues such as popular disturbances, military recruitment or the prosecution of radicals before the law courts, a publication taking a more comprehensive approach has so far been missing. Again, this book aims to address the question of Scotland’s role in the 1790s in a broader sense, looking at, precisely, political trials, military recruitment, financial contributions, and loyalism.

Legal Concepts

This chapter studies intellectual property (IP). A hallmark of the New Private Law (NPL) is attentiveness to and appreciation of legal concepts and categories, including the traditional categories of the common law. These categories can sometimes usefully be deployed outside of the traditional common law, to characterize, conceptualize, and critique other bodies of law. For scholars interested in IP, for example, common law categories can be used to describe patent, copyright, trademark, and other fields of IP as more or less “property-like” or “tort-like.” Thischapter investigates both the property- and tort-like features of IP to understand the circumstances under which one set of features tends to dominate and why. It surveys several doctrines within the law of copyright that demonstrate how courts move along the property/tort continuum depending on the nature of the copyrighted work at issue—including, in particular, how well the work’s protected contours are defined. This conceptual navigation is familiar, echoing how common law courts have moved along the property/tort continuum to address disputes over distinctive types of tangible resources.

The 16 years of labor that George Edmund Street devoted to the Royal Courts of Justice were filled with artistic and political controversy. Amidst that turmoil Street created a design whose pragmatism and visual logic marked the end of the intensely intellectual, High Victorian phase of the Gothic Revival. "Without it," Robert Kerr concluded in 1884, "the whole process of the Revival had been quite incomplete."

Law Courts

It is not always appreciated that before a case is ready for trial, a vast amount of preliminary work has to be carried out. The playgoer who sits before the footlights, sees the actors, and hears them say their parts. He is but dimly conscious of all that has gone before—the playwright toiling at his manuscript, the rehearsals, and the labours of the dresser and the stage carpenter. So a visitor to the Law Courts who sees a judge on the bench provided with all the documents relating to the action, who watches counsel untie the red tape on his brief, and the solicitor produce documents from a dispatch case, is not always alive to the fact that all this has involved a deal of preparation, not only in the office of the solicitor and the chambers of learned counsel, but in the offices of the Supreme Court.
