Abstract
This article is based on a comparison between Bishop Alexander Macdonell's autobiographical writing about his work as a Scottish priest and his involvement in the politics of the day, and information obtainable from the Blairs and Preshome Letters. Taken together, they show that his bold and enterprising approach achieved much for his fellow-Catholics but that his superiors, the bishops of the two Scottish vicariates, had good reason to fear that his individualist approach might actually undermine their own patient and cautious efforts to extract concessions for Catholics from the authorities. The developments described take place against the background of the Highland Clearances as well as the spread of French revolutionary ideas all over western Europe. Macdonell's views were to have considerable influence on British imperial policies in Canada and the United States.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
