This article provides a brief analysis of Tobias Smollett’s ‘The Expedition of Humphry Clinker,’ which is considered to be his best novel. Similar episodes and literary portraits had been featured in his previous works, but the epistolary form, used exclusively in this novel, contributed to lively and extremely convincing characters, as well as vivid and picturesque descriptions.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the referendum in Scotland in 2014 as a peaceful way of people's self-determination of this historical part of the United Kingdom. The author believes that the referendum is able to resolve the issue of sovereignty, and to prevent secession only if it is conducted legally and with the approval of the central authorities of states that are under the burden of separatism.
