“…E.g. the revolutionary ideal of the "citizen soldier" (le soldat-citoyen) 21 which delivered new justification for the military mobilization, evoking the patriotism and obligation towards the society instead of relying just on a loyalty towards the sovereign, was very useful for propaganda, which merged it with other elements 22 .…”

The Illyrian Provinces, a part of the 1st French Empire which existed in the years 1809-1813, are often portrayed as a political entity which anticipated various projects of the political emancipation of the South Slavs. However, the link between later pan-South-Slavic movements and the Napoleonic political activity is a matter which still remains unclear and deserves some in-depth analysis. Most often the Napoleonic impact on the evolution of the nascent South-Slavic nationalisms is viewed in the perspective of the posterior political attitudes of the Croat, Slovene or Serbian elites towards the French, and their own interpretations of the Napoleonic impact on the pan-South-Slavic movement. The proposed paper will concentrate on the opposite approach and will investigate how French perceived the South Slavs in the perspective of the nascent nationalisms, especially that French propaganda presented Napoleon as the savior of the European nations including the „Illyrian” one. But how French defined this „Illyrian” nation? This question can be answered thanks to the French strive for description of the societies inhabiting Illyrian Provinces.

A B S T R A C T . The article examines Scottish discussions surrounding the French revolutionary wars in the early and mid-s. It argues that these discussions were not built along the lines of the dispute that set Burke against the English radicals, because arguments about French 'cosmopolitan' love for mankind were largely irrelevant in the context of Smithian moral philosophy. The Scottish writers who observed French developments in the period (including the Edinburgh Moderates, James Mackintosh, John Millar, and Lord Lauderdale) were, however, particularly interested in what they interpreted as France's changing notion of patriotism, and built upon the heritage of Smithian moral philosophy in order to offer original and powerful commentaries of French national feeling and warfare. They identified the 'enthusiastic' nature of French national sentiment, and the replacement of traditional patriotism with a new form of relationship between the individual and the nation, as the most significant and dangerous element to come out of the French Revolution.This article aims to uncover various strands of Scottish political thought concerning the evolution of warfare and national feelings during the French revolutionary wars (-).The impact of the French Revolution on British political thought has long formed an object of study for scholars, with much of the interest focusing on the dispute that set Edmund Burke against the Whig and radical defenders of the Revolution. The events in France after , it is argued, lent added weight to Burke's devastating critique of the French philosophes, and largely discredited both the languages of republicanism and natural rights in Britain.  This article, however, approaches the question of the British reception of the French Revolution from a different angle: it is not directly concerned with the disputes surrounding the French political and social reforms, but rather with the contemporary perceptions and understanding of the transformations in * I am grateful to Julian Hoppit, Phil Withington and the anonymous reviewers for their comments and suggestions.
