The general grievances and oppression of the Isles of Orknay and Shetland, under the following heads; viz: I. Of the gradual and continued increase of the weights used in these islands, above the true measure and standard of Norway, from whence they are derived. II. Of the tribute-real, or old land-tax, which is here kept up, under the name of Skat, notwithstanding the new assessment of the islands, in which it should have sunk as all over the rest of the kingdom. III. Of the double tithes here exacted, particularaly in the Island South-Ronaldsha. IV. Of the true rental of these Islands, called the King's Rental, and the burdensome rental imposed in place of it, notwithstanding the general grants of the Islands, and the particular inseodations made to the insulars, referring to the King's rental, as the rule and measure of the Crownrent. V. Of the arbitrary prices kept up in these demesne countries, instead of the exchequer prices, made for every other demesne country of the kingdom. VI. The conclusion; shewing the dreadful effects of so much oppression. All in two parts. With an appendix of pieces
