De Unione Insulae Britannicae (The British Union) is a unique early-seventeenth-century tract that urged the fusion of the Scottish and English kingdoms into a new British commonwealth with a radically new British identity. Its author, David Hume of Godscroft (1558-c.1630) was a major intellectual figure in Jacobean Scotland and the leading Scottish critic of the anglicizing policies of James VI. This is the first translation of the tract, the publication of which was suppressed and which exists only in manuscript.
