Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Scotland In the course of time and events the dynasty of the Argyll Scoti from Ireland gave its name to Scotland, while the English element gave its language to the Lowlands; it was adopted by the Celtic kings 'of the whole country and became dominant, while the Celtic speech withdrew into the hills of the north and north west.

This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of England, Ireland and Scotland The lines upon which the government has developed to its present constitutional form are chiefly lines of resistance to Oppressive enactments in these two matters. The dynastic and military history of England, although picturesque and interesting, is really only a narrative of the external causes which have impeded the nation's growth toward its ideal of the greatest possible good to the greatest possible num ber. The historic development of Ireland and Scotland, and the events which have brought these two countries into organic union with England are, of necessity, very briefly related.

This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sidelights on the History, Industries and Social Life of Scotland In respect of their subject-matter, the score of essays contained in this volume divide themselves into two distinct classes. Those that have been brought to gether in the first part deal with certain matters of intrinsic interest, though of minor importance, in the history of Scotland, or with individuals connected with it as secondary and therefore comparatively little known characters. The second part consists of a number of papers that convey some notion of the social and industrial condition of the country, mainly, though not quite exclusively, prior to the Union. It will also be found that the studies which constitute the first section fall into two separate groups. The former of these is illustrative of the relations between Scotland and France under the reigns of James I and James II. For the latter, materials have been gathered from that of James IV.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Studies in Education in Scotland This little book is offered as a contribution toward the solution of problems many of which are familiar to students of Public Education in Scotland. Some of these problems may seem to be administrative rather than strictly educational; but the intimate connection of the two aspects can easily be shown, the former constantly involving the latter. It may seem, too, that the topics discussed are to some extent of merely passing interest, and that legislation, for which the country has so long looked in vain, will set a limit to the factitious importance they at present possess.

Download or read book The History of Scotland Classic Reprint written by James Mackenzie and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Scotland The religious element in Scottish History, from the Reformation to the Revolution, is well-nigh everything. It is hard to understand how any man not sympathizing with the religion of Scotland could write her history fairly. But some of our ablest historians have altogether lacked that sympathy; and the consequence is that their descriptions of' our religious struggles cannot be read without indignation. Scotland, to borrow the language of Defoe, has been represented to the world in so many monstrous shapes, and dressed up in so many devils' coats and fools' coats, that her own sons do not know their mother. There is a foolish, sentimental generation, whose only ideas of Scottish History are taken from novels, songs, and ballads. It is impossible to speak the truth about that bloody House which fell at the Revolution, and its minions, without giving offence to such persons. It is equally impossible to speak the truth about the great contendings of our glorious forefathers for their religious freedom, without offending the enemies of our Scottish Presbyterianism. The writer merely begs leave to repeat an anecdote of the greatest of Scottish historians, given by James Melville in his Diaryz - That September, in time of vacance, my uncle Mr. Andrew, Mr. Thomas Buchanan, and I, hearing that Mm George Buchanan was weak, and his History under the press, passed over to Edinburgh to visit him and see the work. We went from him to the printer's work-house, whom we found at the end of the seventeenth book of his Chronicle, at a place which we thought very hard for the time, which might be an occasion of staying the whole work - anent the burial of Davie. Therefore, staying the printer from proceeding, we came to Mr. George. Mr. Thomas, his cousin, shows him of the hardness of that part of his story, that the King would be offended with it, and it might stay all the work. 'tell me, man, ' says he, 'if I have told the truth 'yes, ' says Mr. Thomas, 'sir, I think so.' 'i will hide his feud and all his kin's, then.

Download or read book A Child s History of Scotland Classic Reprint written by Mrs Oliphant and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Child's History of Scotland Malcolm was received with much kindness in England, and Siward went to Scotland with him to help him to regain his father's crown. The country itself rose to welcome and help him when, with the great Thane of Fife, Macduff, at his side, and Saxon Siward with his army, he marched home to the north, so that the usurper trembled before him. Macbeth, as we all know, was a man of many superstitions. He might never have murdered Duncan, or entered on his career of blood at all, if it had not been for the witches, women who were feared and believed in those days, and who were said to have put the whole dreadful scheme into his head, or perhaps only fanned the flame which had been al ready smouldering there. He had been told by these mocking prophetesses that he was safe until Bimam Wood should march to Dunsinane, where he was lodged in his strong castle. This he understood to mean that he should be always safe, for it was certain that to Dunsinane, or anywhere else, Bimam Wood could never march. But it happened that, as the advancing army marched through the noble covert of this wood, Macduff advised the soldiers each to cut for himself a bough from the trees, that their number should not be detected, and thus as Siward's men and the loyal Scots approached, the bright ness of their helmets and breastplates veiled with the green leaves, it was indeed as if Birnam Wood were marching upon the usurper's castle. He sallied forth in his despair and died fighting, which, perhaps, was better than he deserved. I saw a great oak the other day upon the banks of the clear and shining Tay which surged round the promontory of greensward upon which it stood, and this, I was told, was the last tree of Bimam Wood. Amid all the wonderful colours of the autumn woods, it alone stood dark against the gleam of the river and the blue of the sky.
