Description: Chapter 15 from 'Land of Home Rule' (1893) examines the impact of the 1765 Revestment on Manx society, focusing on labour law reform post-1777, the island's transformation into a debt refuge under the 1737 Protection Act, suppression of smuggling, and the final purchase of the Duke of Atholl's remaining interests by the Crown in 1825. The chapter traces economic consequences from the loss of illicit trade through tourism and literary discovery, and evaluates the Stanley and Atholl dynasties' stewardship.
