"Ralph McLean and Humming Earth have made a huge contribution to
eighteenth-century Scottish studies by giving us a new edition of
John Home's Douglas (long out of print) along with facsimiles of
three dozen contemporary broadsides, pamphlets, proclamations, and
advertisements relating to the play. These primary sources may well
generate a resurgence of interest in Douglas, in Home and his work,
in the Scottish stage, in cultural identity as a national and
religious issue, in the rise of the two ecclesiastical parties
within the Church of Scotland, and in the supporting roles played
by prominent figures such as David Hume, Adam Ferguson, and John
Witherspoon. " -- Richard B. Sher, Distinguished Professor of
History at the New Jersey College of Technology
