Tamson's vote; or, My electioneering experiences in the country..
An engaging and probably satirical account of a legal clerk sent to observe electioneering carried out by Lord William Grant on behalf of the Conservatives in a Scottish town identified by the letter "D". He meets various peoples on his travels including the Liberal candidate and ends by visiting John Tamson, an example of a local Scottish farmer who is primarily interested in his own affairs and has no interest in wider issues.It appears to be a critique of Scottish Landlordism and the canvassing process of the time, seen here as of limited value to local agricultural folk.
