Scottish Hero William Wallace on This Day in History

 

This day in history: Sir William Wallace was executed for high treason at Smithfield, London on this day in 1305.

From Lawrence W. Reed:

I am an American of Scottish extraction, and few things stir my blood more than the colorful history of my ancestral homeland. Through the centuries, rugged Scots stand tall among those heroes who gave every ounce of their lives for such noble ideals as liberty, independence, and self-reliance.

Mel Gibson’s epic film Braveheart, released in 1995, introduced many non-Scots to one of our greatest heroes, William Wallace. A fierce and uncompromising Scottish patriot, Wallace gave English invaders fits for years until his capture on August 5, 1305. He was hauled to London to face charges of insurrection, found guilty, and brutally executed by Edward I seven centuries ago, on August 23, 1305.

Edward was deservedly known as the “Hammer of the Scots.” His designs on Scotland were apparent shortly after he ascended to the English throne in 1272, when Wallace was but two years old. While the Scottish people themselves may have been staunch in their desire to retain their own national identity, many of their nobility were unprincipled opportunists who connived with Edward to allow English encroachment in exchange for political favors. More than a dozen of them claimed the Scottish throne in 1290 and then invited Edward’s arbitration to settle the question.

The English king chose John Balliol to be his royal puppet in exchange for the Scottish king’s oath of loyalty to England. But in 1296 Balliol found the spine to differ with Edward over an important issue, and the two nations went to war.

Young Wallace emerged early as a Scottish patriot of special mettle, leading his countrymen to a smashing victory at the Battle of Stirling Bridge on September 11, 1297. “All powerful as a swordsman and unrivalled as an archer,” John D. Carrick wrote in his classic Life of Sir William Wallace of Elderslie, “his blows were fatal and his shafts unerring: as an equestrian, he was a model of dexterity and grace; while the hardships he experienced in his youth made him view with indifference the severest privations incident to a military life.”

Wallace’s courage united Scotland, but 11 months after Stirling, the Scots were outnumbered at Falkirk and dealt a crushing blow. His forces scattered, Wallace took his campaign for independence to the courts of Europe in search of foreign alliances. When he returned to Scotland in 1303, he was the most-wanted fugitive in the country, and he was betrayed to Edward in the summer of 1305. The evidence is strong that it wasn’t commoners who broke faith with him, but highly placed Scottish officials who sold out to Edward. In London he was hanged and then drawn and quartered while still alive. Before his torture and execution, he responded to the charges against him with these words:

I cannot be a traitor, for I owe him no allegiance. He is not my Sovereign; he never received my homage; and whilst life is in this persecuted body, he never shall receive it. To the other points whereof I am accused, I freely confess them all. As Governor of my country I have been an enemy to its enemies; I have slain the English; I have mortally opposed the English King; I have stormed and taken the towns and castles which he unjustly claimed as his own. If I or my soldiers have plundered or done injury to the houses or ministers of religion, I repent me of my sin; but it is not of Edward of England I shall ask pardon.

Avenging Wallace’s death became a rallying cry in the years thereafter. Edward died in 1307 with Scotland still simmering in revolt. Under Robert the Bruce, the forces of Edward II were decisively defeated at Bannockburn in 1314. Six years later, a group of Scottish leaders issued the famous Declaration of Arbroath in hopes that the Pope would convince the English to leave Scotland alone. This declaration, written a full four and a half centuries before the American Declaration of Independence, enunciated the principle that a king must rule by the consent of the governed, who in turn have a duty to get rid of him if he doesn’t. It includes these stirring words: “It is not for honors or glory or wealth that we fight, but for freedom alone, which no good man gives up except with his life.”

The crowns of England and Scotland were united in the early seventeenth century and the parliaments were merged a hundred years later (see Stephen Davies), but Scotland retains a strong national identity within the United Kingdom. Wallaceite rugged individualism was apparent in the ideas of the Scottish Enlightenment, which produced Adam Smith, David Hume, and other eighteenth-century thinkers committed to limited government, self-reliance, freer markets, and personal freedom. William Ewart Gladstone, one of Britain’s greatest prime ministers and an ardent opponent of excessive government, had deep roots in Scotland.

Though my Scottish blood and love of liberty make me proud of this heritage, I worry that Scots in more recent decades have forsaken their history. The spirit of Wallace and the contributions of Hume, Smith, and Gladstone are perfunctorily recognized, but in practice Scottish policymakers seem wedded to the coercive nanny state. The great Scots of the past would probably be shocked to know how extensively their descendents now depend on the largess of government. As Alexander Hamilton, an American of Scottish ancestry, once wisely warned, “Control of a man’s subsistence is control of his will.”

Modern Reality

“Scotland is the most socialist part of Britain,” says John Blundell, former director of the Institute of Economic Affairs in London. “It even has strong credentials as the most socialist part of the European Union. Its public sector, including municipal agencies, consumes more of the [gross domestic product] than in any other OECD nation.” The romantic, noble image of proud and independent Scots has given way to a very different reality: a heavily subsidized population that overwhelmingly supports political candidates who demand even more subsidies.

Still, 705 years after the death of William Wallace, Scots know who Wallace was and admire him. Many seem to know instinctively something very fundamental to the greatness of their past and their distinction as a people: Their proudest heritage is one of keeping government at bay, not granting it broad power over their lives and livelihoods. As a Scot in America, that’s what I celebrate every chance I get. I hope someday the Scots of Scotland will do so once again as well.

Darwin's Origin of the Species on This Day in History

This day in history: Charles Darwin's controversial classic On the Origin of the Species was published, after much hesitation, on this day in 1859. 

While Origin of the Species is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology, it is not the first work to dabble in this area. Various evolutionary ideas had already been proposed to explain new findings in biology.

Charles Darwin's grandfather Erasmus Darwin outlined a hypothesis of transmutation of species in the 1790s, and French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck published a more developed theory in 1809. Both envisaged that spontaneous generation produced simple forms of life that progressively developed greater complexity, adapting to the environment by inheriting changes in adults caused by use or disuse. This process was later called Lamarckism. 

Around this time Georges Cuvier published his findings on the differences between living elephants and those found in the fossil record.

From 1830 to 1833, geologist Charles Lyell published his multi-volume work Principles of Geology, where he looked at evolution from the perspective of geology.

Alfred Russel Wallace famously conceived of his idea of natural selection at the same time as Darwin. Charles Lyell knew about Wallace's work and urged Darwin to publish his work on the subject to establish priority. 

Darwin's book still remains one of the most influential books of all time. Spectator.org puts The Origin of the Species at number 3, behind the Bible and the Koran.

This book, and many others on the topic are freely available online:

The Evolution of Man by Wilhelm Boelsche
Featured in an ad in the Socialist Review 1907, with this caption: "Modern Socialism is closely allied to the modern scientific theory of evolution, and it is impossible to understand it without knowledge of the theory. Now evolution is accepted as a working basis in every university in Europe and America, and no one with a scientific basis wastes time in questioning it. Nevertheless, there has been until now been no popular explanation of the evolution of man in simple form at a low price. There is very good reason for this. If laborers understand science, they become socialists, and the capitalists who control most publishing houses naturally do not want them to understand it."

"Thus the weak members of civilised societies propagate their kind. No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man. It is surprising how soon a want of care, or care wrongly directed, leads to the degeneration of a domestic race; but excepting in the case of man himself, hardly any one is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed.
The aid which we feel impelled to give to the helpless is mainly an incidental result of the instinct of sympathy, which was originally acquired as part of the social instincts, but subsequently rendered, in the manner previously indicated, more tender and more widely diffused. Nor could we check our sympathy, even at the urging of hard reason, without deterioration in the noblest part of our nature. ... We must therefore bear the undoubtedly bad effects of the weak surviving and propagating their kind; but there appears to be at least one check in steady action, namely that the weaker and inferior members of society do not marry so freely as the sound; and this check might be indefinitely increased by the weak in body or mind refraining from marriage, though this is more to be hoped for than expected."

The System of Nature 1889

The System of Nature (Système de la Nature) is a philosophical book by Baron d'Holbach (Paul Henri Thiry, 1723-1789). It was originally published under the name of Jean-Baptiste de Mirabaud, a deceased member of the French Academy of Science. D'Holbach wrote this book (with the assistance of Diderot) anonymously in 1770, describing the universe in terms of philosophical materialism (i.e., the mind is the same thing as the brain, there is no "soul" without a living body, etc.), strict determinism (free will is an illusion, and whatever happens, must), and especially atheism.
The book was considered extremely radical in its day; even Voltaire rebuked him for it. Though not a scientist himself, d'Holbach was scientifically literate and he developed his philosophy consistent with the known facts of nature and the scientific knowledge of the day.
The book has been nicknamed "The Atheist's Bible". It makes a critical distinction between mythology as a more or less benign way of bringing law ordered thought on society, nature and their powers to the masses and theology. Theology which when it separates from mythology raises the power of nature above nature itself and thus alienates the two (i.e. "nature", all that actually exists, from its power, now personified in a being outside nature) is by contrast a pernicious force in human affairs without parallel.

Q.E.D. or New light on the Doctrine of Creation by George McCready Price 1917
George McCready Price (1870–1963) was a Canadian creationist. He produced a string of anti-evolution, or creationist works, particularly on the subject of "flood geology". However, his views did not become common amongst creationists until after his death, particularly with the "creation science" movement starting in the 1960s.
rice was born in Havelock, New Brunswick, Canada. His father died in 1882 and his mother joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church. In 1887, he married another follower of the church. For several years thereafter the couple worked as itinerant sellers of Seventh-day Adventist co-founder Ellen G. White's books in the Maritime Provinces of Eastern Canada.
n a response to a plea from his wife, the Adventist church employed Price as a construction worker first in Maryland. He then was, for a short time, principal of a small Adventist school in Oakland, California before moving again and becoming a construction worker and handyman at a newly purchased Adventist sanatorium in Loma Linda, where he self-published Illogical Geology: The Weakest Point in the Evolution Theory in 1906. In Illogical Geology, Price offered $1000 "to any one who will, in the face of the facts here presented, show me how to prove that one kind of fossil is older than another."
