Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Chronicles Relating to Scotland The following lectures were undertaken with the intention and hope of furnishing a clue to the most trustworthy sources of contemporary, or nearly contemporary, information about the early condition and history of Scotland, and of indicating the most probable line of truth among conflicting statements. Some such guidance may be found acceptable by those who, while desiring to acquire a clear general knowledge of the origin of the Scottish people and their relations with England, have not enough leisure at command for prolonged search through the printed volumes of annals and to weigh the authority which may rightly be assigned to each.

This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Early Scottish Metrical Tales Classic Reprint written by David Laing and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Scottish Metrical Tales The Metrical Tales and Romance Poems peculiar to this Country, are very inconsiderable in number, when compared with those which belong to the Sister-Kingdom. But from various allusions to be found to the number and popularity of such compositions in Scotland, at an early period, it is evident that this portion of our Ancient Literature, in its transmission to modern times, must have suffered in a more than common degree. Nor indeed was it to be conceived, at the time "Quhen gude Makars rang weill into Scotland," that our native Minstrels should have been behind their neighbours, either for invention, or facility of composition, in thus contributing to the amusement of their countrymen. In proof of the general esteem in which these works of fiction were held, it may here be sufficient to mention what has been incidentally recorded of two of the most renowned of the Scotish Mouarchs. When the followers of Robert the Bruce, in his retreat to the Isle of Rachrin, at the close of the year 1306, had to be ferried over Lochlomoud in a boat, which held but three persons at a time, that "gude King," is said, by his venerable biographer, to have amused them for "a night and a day," by reading portions of the Romance of Ferumbrace.
