Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Scotland, Vol. 2 of 4: From the Union of the Crowns on the Accession of James Vi; To the Throne of England, to the Union of the Kingdoms in the Reign of Queen Anne Budhanan published a train of confessions - all spu rions; the cgeation of a genius that seems to have delighted itself in the boldness of its own falsehoods, and to have rioted. In the luxury of its own forgeries, - His spirit could not long confine itself within the bounds of harmlessness. The ser pent may appear for a time playing in wanton curls upon the ground. It will soon, however, rise upon its spires, and shew its enveno'med fangs. And Buchanan returned to his natural exercise of fictitious slander. - But this Leviathan of slander was not satisfied.with taking such gentle pastime in forgery. He must raise a tempest for his recreation.-his malignity acted with all the force-ofva pestilential blast upon his disere tion. The daring calumniator sunk into an impassioned idiot before it. And he stands on the pillar of infamy at present, for his Detection, his sonnets, and his depositions, the second of all human forgers, and the first of all human slan derers but ba led in his forgeries, and defeated in his slan ders by his very rage for both.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Scotland, Vol. 2: From the Earliest Period to the Present Time At the very outset of the proceedings, several difficulties arose which required some skill to smooth them down. In the first place, the duke of Norfolk, somewhat in discreetly, observed that the regent of Scotland, having consented to plead before Elizabeth, must begin by doing homage to the English crown. This proposal moved the indignation of the regent, and provoked an ironical retort from Lethington, who re presented that Scotland had been deprived of those appendages, namely, the counties of Northumberland and Cumberland, and the manor of Huntingdon, for which homage had been formerly paid. Mary's commissioners, on their side, were startled at the prelimi nary oath required of each party, to speak nothing but the truth and to conceal no thing which might be necessary for a just appreciation of the cause. All these matters however having been arranged, and the oaths taken, Mary's commissioners made a state ment of the charges against her subjects, as they had been directed in her instructions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Historians of Scotland, Vol. 2 The earliest historians of a country are undoubtedly the most valuable, if, upon a fair critical trial of their agreement with the writers of the neighbouring countries, but more espe cially with the sure testimony of public records and charters still remaining, they appear to have made a faithful use of the works of preceding writers and of other vouchers extant in their times, most of which being now lost, they, as the earliest faithful Copiers of them, are entitled to our respect and grati tude for furnishing us with the only means of obtaining the knowledge of many of the transactions of past ages. Hence it evidently follows, that the truest and most essential service that can be done to the history of any nation, is to lay before.

This book was released on 2011-11-30 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies the book trade during the age of Fergusson and BurnsOver 40 leading scholars come together in this volume to scrutinise the development and impact of printing, binding, bookselling, libraries, textbooks, distribution and international trade, copyright, piracy, literacy, music publication, women readers, children's books and cookery books.The 18th century saw Scotland become a global leader in publishing, both through landmark challenges to the early copyright legislation and through the development of intricate overseas markets that extended across Europe, Asia and the Americas. Scots in Edinburgh, Glasgow, London, Dublin and Philadelphia amassed fortunes while bringing to international markets classics in medicine and economics by Scottish authors, as well as such enduring works of reference as the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Entrepreneurship and a vigorous sense of nationalism brought Scotland from financial destitution at the time of the 1707 Union to extraordinary wealth by the 1790s. Publishing was one of the country's elite new industries.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scotland, Vol. 2: As It Was and as It Is The Restoration in 1660 restored everything that was corrupt and bad wherever its power reached, and we have seen the wicked purpose with which its appeal to Celtic Feudalism was made in 1677. But the work of the Highland Host lasted only for a few months, and no raiding expe dition of this kind could affect the permanent causes which were steadily at work all over the Highlands ever since the Clans had ceased to fight among them selves. The Rebellion which was raised in 1685 by my own unfortunate ancestor, the ninth Earl of Argyll, attempting, in concert with the Duke of Monmouth in England, to anticipate by a few years the Great Revolution which was at hand, was a Rebellion suppressed in a few weeks. He brought no hands of Irish Celts to ravage his native country. He brought no Dutch or German mercenaries to fight the battles of Scottish freedom. He achieved no immediate success to attract plundering Caterans always ready to flock to those who promised booty. He represented a Cause and not a Person. The Cause was one which Highlanders had never valued. His own lands had already become largely occupied by peaceful Farmers, whilst only a remainder of the Subtenants belonged to the Old idle and fighting classes. Celtic Feudalism therefore completely failed him. He did not appeal either to the rude. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scotland and Scotsmen, Vol. 2 of 2: The Eighteenth Century Nothing could exceed the perverse industry with which the acceding ministers sowed their tares. TO their former congregations they seemed to have some claim; and had they confined their attempts to the flocks of the unpopular clergy, none needed to have been surprised. But they were at equal pains to make divisions in parishes where there was not the smallest reason to find fault with the incumbents, who were precise, orthodox, useful men. At Logie a tent was set up, from which Ebenezer and two Of his colleagues held forth for days, to a great audience composed of all sects and parties. Mr Duchel [the minister] was confessedly the ablest man in the Presbytery of Dunblane in those days. The soundness Of his doctrine could only be equalled by his love for the people whilst the scholar, the gentle man, and the Christian were conspicuous in his actions and language.
