Vindication and Banished R encounter in the Edinburgh scene
In September 1712 a heated account defends Mr. R against Abel Rops and associates who accuse him of Libertinism and Tory-Cameronian bias. The document recalls University of Edinburgh incidents, Pope burning, and political turmoil led by the Duke of York and Argyle, ending with R’s banishment and pending legal action while readers confront the libel. Also noted are a bishop’s arrest near Fullesmore and local notices of a stolen horse and a moved French Ware-house in Capel Street.
