Origin Of The Scots And The Scottish Language

Origin Of The Scots And The Scottish Language: An Inquiry Preliminary To The Proper Understanding Of Scottish History And Literature (1858) is a book written by James Paterson. The book is an investigation into the origins of the Scottish people and their language, which is seen as a necessary preliminary to understanding Scottish history and literature. Paterson explores the various theories that have been put forward about the origins of the Scots, including those that connect them to the Picts, Celts, and Anglo-Saxons. He also examines the development of the Scottish language, tracing its roots back to Old English and examining how it has evolved over time. The book provides a comprehensive overview of Scottish history and literature, and is an essential resource for anyone interested in the cultural heritage of Scotland.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
