520 _a"Fletcher of Saltoun" by George W. T. Omond is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on the life and political activities of Andrew Fletcher, a notable Scottish patriot and member of the Scottish Parliament during a time of significant political turmoil. The book delves into Fletcher's formative years, his education, and his commitment to the principles of freedom and governance, positioning him as a key figure in Scotland's history. The opening of the book outlines Fletcher's early life, including his birth in 1653, his educational background under Bishop Burnet, and the influence of his family on his developing political consciousness. It highlights Fletcher’s fiery and generous nature, as well as his intense interest in history, politics, and government—a reflection of his upbringing and academic environment. As he begins to engage with political matters, the text sets the stage for his future conflicts with the Scottish and English authorities, hinting at his role as a defender of Scotland's liberties in the face of external pressures and internal governance challenges. This introduction effectively establishes Fletcher's character and the historical context necessary for understanding his subsequent actions and ideologies.
