- Description
- This is Chapter 13 from 'Land of Home Rule' (1893), a historical narrative covering the rise of smuggling in the Isle of Man, the fiscal crisis that prompted Parliamentary intervention, the succession of the Athol family to lordship of the island in 1736, and the constitutional reforms enacted by the first Duke of Athol.
