In these pages have been traced the rise and progress of every branch of the social system, and an effort made to show how the usages of one age have influenced the manners of the next, and at length fixed the condition and destiny of the people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Life in Scotland, Vol. 3: From Early to Recent Times IN issuing my third and concluding volume, I feel as if parting with an old and cherished friend, with whom I have long enjoyed familiar converse. I have talked about Scotland in its social aspects, and in respect of the usages, manners, and practices of its inhabitants. And in discoursing of these, I have avoided rash and curious speculation. By the aid of an index; in which are included subjects as well as proper names, the reader, it is hoped, will find that topics have been included, in which he is personally interested, and that in a con densed form, facts and particulars are presented not readily to be gleaned elsewhere. Yet I may indulge in no self-gratulation, for I am more than conscious of my abundant shortcomings. Nor will failure cause me any absolute distress, since the undertaking on which I have ventured embraces a field so wide that none have heretofore sought its cultivation. In the present volume is contained a Supplement, applicable chiefly to the two preceding volumes.vi postscript TO preface. In this errors, have been corrected, omissions supplied, and new illustrations gathered in. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Civilisation in Scotland, Vol. 1 Fifteen years have elapsed since the issue of the first volume of the present work. Since then there has been much investigation into prehistoric subjects, many ancient structures within the limited area to which this work is specially devoted, having been carefully examined; while, by the publication of the series of Exchequer Rolls, Burgh Records, and other important documents, the materials relating to the twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, have been rendered more accessible. In preparing this volume for a new edition, I have found it necessary to recast and rewrite the whole. Two new sections have been added to the Introduction, while most of the others have been much enlarged. About one-fourth of the volume is new.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History and Chronicles of Scotland, Vol. 1 HE early part of the Literary History of Scotland is involved in much ob scurity, and has not been investigated with a due share either of care or of candour. Many eminent writers who adorned the reigns of the Stuarts du ring the fifteenth and sixteenth centu ries, are now in a great measure unknown or forgotten. The difficulties these early writers had to encounter, from the limited sources of information which they possessed, - the absence of authentic records to guide them in their researches, - the romantic and fabulous times of which they wrote, - and the want of science to operate as a check up on credulity, seem entirely to have escaped those critics by whom their labours have been depreciated, and their claims to the gratitude of posterity denied.

Download or read book The History of Scotland Vol 1 written by Thomas Wright and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Scotland, Vol. 1: From the Earliest Period to the Present Time With the triumph of the parliament in its struggle against King Charles, the supreme power in Scotland fell into the hands of the chin'ch, which became so powerful that it was able almost to impose the presbyterian form of church government on England. Divisions, however, soon rose within itself, which show us how unfitted any ecclesiastical establishment is to carry on with advantage the civil government of a country. The misgovernment which followed was put an end to by Cromwell, under whom the presbyterian church was held within very strict limits. The restoration of royalty raised the hopes of the presbyterians only to disappoint them cruelly, and the reigns of the two last of the Stuarts form one of the darkest periods in the whole range of Scottish history. It is full of the deepest interest, and is sprinkled with events of the most romantic character. The church is again the great actor in it, and its more striking events have been recorded in the autobiographical writings of many of the ministers and others who outlived the sufferings of it persecutions, as well as in several valuable contemporary histories, such as the voluminous work of Woodrow, as well as in the exculpatory memoirs of many of those who had either been direct persecutors, or had at least supported and been employed under the government.

Download or read book Scotland Vol 1 of 2 Classic Reprint written by Sir Walter Scott and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scotland, Vol. 1 of 2 The Author was invited to undertake this general Sketch of Scottish History in connection with a similar abridgment of English History by Sir James Mackin tosh, and a History of Ireland by Thomas Moore, Esquire. There are few literary persons who would not have been willing to incur much labor and risk of reputation for the privilege of publishing in such society. On the present occasion, the task, though perhaps still a rash one, was rendered more easy by the Author having so lately been employed on the volumes called Tales of a Grandfather, transferred from the History of Scotland, for the benefit of a young relation. Yet the object and tenor of these two works are extremely different. In the Tales taken from Scottish history, the author, throwing into the shade, or rather omitting all that could embarrass the under standing or tire the attention of his juvenile reader, was desirous only to lay before him what was best adapted to interest his imagination, and confining himself to facts, to postpone to a later period an investigation of the principles out of which those facts arose.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Social Life of Scotland in the Eighteenth Century, Vol. 2 The end of 1688 saw the beginning of ecclesiastical revolution in Scotland; and the landing of William of Orange in December was the signal for Presbyterian insurrection. In the bleak month, when there was bitter frost and deep snow, the country people in the south and west counties gathered in mobs, armed with stakes, pitchforks, and clubs, and attacked the manses where for twenty-six years the Episcopal ministers had lived. During the darkness of the night the voices of assailants demanding entrance rose above the din of smashing windows and battered doors. In many cases the "curates" were dragged from their homes amidst abuse, driven to the kirkyard with cries of "Strip the curate!" the black gown (hated badge of "black Prelacy") was torn from their shoulders; their furniture and their humble store of books were flung into fires kindled in the streets.
