Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Reformation of Religion Within the Realm of Scotland To supply the want thus indicated thirty years ago is the object of the present publication. Indeed, we look for a wider circle of readers than Mr. Carlyle contemplated. Even persons not accustomed to reckon themselves, or to be reckoned by their friends, among 'serious mankind at large, will find in this volume an amount of human interest, of dramatic incident, and of homely humour, which the title might not lead them to anticipate. And, if not in their case, certainly in the case of many of those to whom Carlyle directly refers, perusal of this popular abridged version ought to induce study of the full text as it appears in Dr. Laing s incomparable edition. No manuscript of the History in Knoxs handwriting exists; but what is known as the 1566 ms. (now in the possession of the University of Edinburgh) contains some marginal notes and corrections which Dr. Laing thought to be in Knoxs hand. That Ms., with the exception of certain portions added by various hands from other copies, is in the handwriting of John Gray, Clerk or Scribe to the General Assembly of the Church of Scot land, who acted as Knox's principal amanuensis. Dr. Laing generally adhered to the 1566 manuscript, although in some cases he preferred readings derived from what he calls the Glasgow ms., and from other sources.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Reformation of Religion in Scotland: Complete in One Volume Christianity had now acquired a sort of civil establishment. It was the religion of the state; but it had not yet obtained any legal endowment, or permanent provision for the support of ministers. They must have been dependent upon the contributions of their respective flocks, agreeably to the di vine ordinance; and this will always be found an adequate source of support when pastors and flocks are faithful to one ah other, and when both are disposed to obey the Christian precept, to be content with what God is pleased to bestow, believing his promise, that he will not leave nor for sake them.

This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Establishment of the Reformation of Religion in Scotland The object of this work is to exhibit a faithful narration of the establishment of the Protestant Religion in Scotland; an event which, I imagine, has not hitherto been treated with an accuracy equal to its importance. In the general histories which have been written of Scottish affairs, the views of the authors did not permit them to be sufficiently circumstantial upon this subject; and, in those books which have been devoted to the Church, and its concerns, there is evidently an improper mixture of prejudice and controversy. With a view to remedy these defects, I have ventured to compose the present performance; and it has been my earnest endeavour to exert and exercise that precision which is not usually expected from the general historian; and that impartiality which is never to be found in the apologist of a faction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Reformation of Religion in Scotland "It is really a loss to English and even to universal literature that Knox's hasty and strangely interesting, impressive, and peculiar Book, called The History of the Reformation in Scotland, has not been rendered far more extensively legible to serious mankind at large than is hitherto the case. There is in it, ... a really singular degree of clearness, sharp just insight and perspicacity, now and then of picturesqueness and visuality, as if the thing was set before your eyes; and everywhere a feeling of the most perfect credibility and veracity: that is to say altogether, of Knox's high qualities as an observer and narrator... This man, you can discern, has seized the essential elements of the phenomenon, and done a right portrait of it; a man with an actually seeing eye... "Besides this perfect clearness, naivete, and almost unintentional picturesqueness, there are to be found in Knox's swift flowing History many other kinds of 'geniality, ' and indeed of far higher excellences than are wont to be included under that designation. The grand Italian Dante is not more in earnest about this inscrutable Immensity than Knox is. There is in Knox throughout the spirit of an old Hebrew Prophet, such as may have been in Moses in the Desert at sight of the Burning Bush; spirit almost altogether unique among modern men; and along with all this, in singular neighbourhood to it, a sympathy, a veiled tenderness of heart, veiled, but deep and of piercing vehemence, and withal even an inward gaiety of soul, alive to the ridicule that dwells in whatever is ridiculous, in fact a fine vein of humour, which is wanting in Dante... "The story of this great epoch is nowhere to be found so impressively narrated as in this Book of Knox's; a hasty loose production, but grounded on the completest knowledge, and with visible intention of setting down faithfully both the imperfections of poor fallible men, and the unspeakable mercies of God to this poor realm of Scotland."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religious Life in Scotland: From the Reformation to the Present Day The ecclesiastical history of Scotland has been often written; but little has been done in the way of trac ing its religious life, or of showing, in anything like a systematic manner, how that life has told on the epoch-making movements of the past. This work does not profess to meet so as to satisfy that manifest want. It is not, and does not pretend to be, a history of Scottish religion. To supply that would require something more elaborate. But it is a contribution toward such a history; and its informa tion may be accepted as of some interest and value, because furnished by men who are, most of them, in a sense specialists in their respective departments.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Lives of the Protestant Reformers in Scotland From the view which I have been enabled to give of the Protestant Reformers in Scotland, I hope it will be evident that they were not, what some of the enemies of our religion have repre sented them and the reformers in other countries to have been, fanatics and ignorant enthusiasts, but men of a sound understanding, who generally had received a most liberal education and who, by the lights both of reason and revelation, fully considered the importance of the truths for which they were contending. It has been my endeavour to write their histories in such a manner as might tend to impress a serious regard to true religion. And, surely, l scarcely need to make an apology for my having intermixed brief anecdotes of some pious protestants, who deserve to be remembered, who, though they were not of a clerical profession, encountered the dangers of persecution, and, in various ways, were promoters of the reformation.

This book was released on 1831 with total page 710 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knox's "History" has all the essential qualities of a classic. It makes appeal with perennial freshness to the heart of man. It depicts a struggle for religious freedom which never had an equal, either before or since, and yet has a counterpart in the experience of every age. It is the honest and truthful record of one of the most highly energised men that ever crossed the stage of life-a record, withal, so masterly that the reader's mind and heart attain the writer's meaning and point of view, at a bound. Its humanity is as broad as human nature; its grasp of the eternal verities is childlike yet strong; its imagination is sane yet soaring.

Knox him.
