Excerpt from The Nature and Descent of Ancient Peerages, Connected With the State of the State of Scotland, the Origin of Tenures, the Succession of Fiefs, and the Constitution of Parliament, in That Country: A Discourse Addressed to the Rt. Hon. William Earl of Mansfield, Lord Chief Justice of England Profound or abstract researches, requiring much intense and continued thought, fatigue and overwhelm vulgar minds: Speculations, less remote from common apprehension, often, either from their apparent minuteness, or from their seeming insignificance, carry an unpromising and meagre air: And both sorts, un-engaging except to a few, and disrelished by the multitude, amidst dissipation and prejudice frequently meet with a cold reception in the world.
