The Wildfire Club (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from The Wildfire Club When I glance over the names I have included in the above ominous title, I feel as if you, O my phantom people! Children of my memory! Cherished subjects of many a sublime lesson, which your histories have read me, deserve some apology for the strange classification which I have made of you, beneath the cognomen of The Wildfire Club. Sweet faces, angelic in their purity and patience, peep out from my very inkstand, and form themselves into patterns all over my paper, in silent yet piteous protest against the demoniac name.

Association and Enlightenment
Social clubs as they existed in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Scotland were varied: they could be convivial, sporting, or scholarly, or they could be a significant and dynamic social force, committed to improvement and national regeneration as well as to sociability. The essays in this volume examine the complex history of clubs and societies in Scotland from 1700 to 1830. Contributors address attitudes toward associations, their meeting places and rituals, their links with the growth of the professions and with literary culture, and the ways in which they were structured by both class and gender. By widening the context in which clubs and societies are set, the collection offers a new framework for understanding them, bringing together the inheritance of the Scottish past, the unique and cohesive polite culture of the Scottish Enlightenment, and the broader context of associational patterns common to Britain, Ireland, and beyond.
