1793: British reformers meet, A convention of Scottish and British
reformers meets in Edinburgh: one of the five delegates from England,
Charles Sinclair, later moved that the meeting be called "The British
Convention of the Delegates of the People, associated to obtain
Universal Suffrage and Annual Parliaments." Among the English
reformers were Maurice Margarot and Joseph Gerrald of the London
Corresponding Society; William Skirving headed up delegates from the
Scottish societies.
In September Robert Burns, had written "Scots wha hae?" a poem
responding to outrageous severity of the sentence received by Scotch
radicals Muir and Palmer. --[2]labehotiere@wanadoo.fr
