Overall, In Freedom's Cause is a thrilling adventure story that also provides a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in Scottish history.""I trust not, my son; but I fear that it will be long before we shake off the English yoke. Our nobles are for the most part of Norman blood; very many are barons of England; and so great are the jealousies among them that no general effort against England will be possible. No, if Scotland is ever to be freed, it will be by a mighty rising of the common people, and even then the struggle between the commons of Scotland and the whole force of England aided by the feudal power of all the great Scotch nobles, would be well nigh hopeless.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
