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.

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.

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 Literary History of Scotland Classic Reprint written by John Hepburn Millar and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Literary History of Scotland The general scope of the following pages does not, it is conceived, require any elaborate explanation. The work is an effort to fulfil the promise of its title-page, and it is for the reader to judge how far that effort has been successful. Down to the date of the Union of the Parliaments, the authors task was a perfectly plain-sailing one, in so far as regards the choice of writers to be dealt with. Thenceforward, however, he was from time to time confronted with the question, whether a particular writer of undoubted Scottish nationality should or should not be included in what professes to be a record of Scottish literature. That question was sometimes by no means a simple one to answer, and it was not without misgivings that the resolution was ultimately adopted, to abstain from attempting anything like adequate criticism of men like James Thomson, James Boswell, and Thomas Carlyle, and to rest satisfied with little more than the bare mention of their names. The reasons which determined this course are in each case sufficiently indicated in the text. If it be thought, on the other hand, that, whatever may be said of such omissions, the last two chapters err on the side of overcrowding, there can only be urged in extenuation a desire to make the work complete in the treatment of a period as to which information is not yet so readily accessible, or at least so conveniently digested, as it will some day come to be.
