註釋"Margarot was one of the 'Scottish Martyrs' whose calls for parliamentary reform led to the sedition trials which took place in 1793-94. Together with Joseph Gerrard, Margarot was a delegate to the 1793 'British Convention of the Societies of the Friends of the People' held at Edinburgh. Found guilty of sedition, he was sentenced to fourteen years transportation to Botany Bay, where he mingled with radical convicts and United Irishmen and at the same time acted as an informant to Governor King. He was subsequently sent in turn to Norfolk Island, Van Dieman's Land, and Newcastle, arriving back in England in 1810"--D & E Lake bookseller's description
