This book offers a new interpretation of political reform in the
settler colonies of Britain's empire in the early nineteenth
century. It examines the influence of Scottish Presbyterian
dissenting churches and their political values. It re-evaluates
five notorious Scottish reformers and unpacks the Presbyterian
foundation to their political ideas: Thomas Pringle (1789-1834), a
poet in Cape Town; Thomas McCulloch (1776-1843), an educator in
Pictou; John Dunmore Lang (1799-1878), a church minister in Sydney;
William Lyon Mackenzie (1795-1861), a rebel in Toronto; and Samuel
McDonald Martin (1805?-1848), a journalist in Auckland. The book
weaves the five migrants' stories together for the first time and
demonstrates how the campaigns they led came to be intertwined. The
book will appeal to historians of Scotland, Britain, Canada,
Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the British Empire and the
Scottish diaspora.
