tho Kingdom of Great Britain. The personal
and dynastlc union of England and Scotland
had been effected more than n century before
and il was not until some months later on Nav
l. 1907, that the legislative union was formally
proclaimed and put into effect. But the crux Of
the problem solved and the fact of union
was practically accomplished on January 18
1IO1 when, after n prolonged and emblttered
struggle both senatorial ana popular the act
OF legislative union was finally carried through
the Scottish Parliament The contest had lasted

UniOnist cause had been champoned by a group
OF the ablest paramentarians In Scottish his
