Excerpt from History of Scotland, Vol. 1 of 2: The Revolution to the Extinction of the Last Jacobite Insurrection, (1689-1748) It was on the 4th of April of the year 1689, that the Convention of Estates of Scotland declared the throne vacant, and accomplished the revolution of the monarchy. The event has been chosen as the starting point of a new period in Scottish history, which has its natural conclusion sixty years later. By the Revolution old contests were extinguished, but new disputes arising out of their ashes waxed great and formidable. Arbitrary power was broken, but in its stead the dread of national subjection to a powerful neighbour excited even bitterer jealousies and sterner resentment.
