This book was released on 2017-11-12 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Orygynale Cronykil of Scotland, Vol. 1 of 3 Boyse and Buchanan are the only historians of Scotland, if they may be so called, whose works have been translated and they are the very two who ought to have been consigned to the deepest obscurity. Hence in a great measure proceed the corrupt ideas of Scottish history, which are so deeply rooted in the minds of many people. The evil is greatly increased by some teachers of Latin putting Buchanan's history into the hands of their pupils, because, forsooth, his Latin style is very fine, which is but a wretched excuse for perverting the youthful mind, though they could prove his latinity superior to Cicero's.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Silcote of Silcotes, Vol. 1 of 3 There lay a boy once in a very poor little bed, close under the thatch of a very poor little cottage, fast asleep and dreaming. At a certain time he moved slightly; in perhaps less than a second more he had raised himself in his bed, and sat there perfectly still, perfectly silent, looking and listening with the in tenseness of a beautiful bright-eyed fox. That is to say, that intense keen vivid curiosity was the first instantaneous expression which fixed itself on his face at the very moment of his waking. In a very'few moments more, those very facile features were expressive of intelligence and satisfaction in the highest degree. A minute had not gone by when, with all the subtle dexterity, the silence, and the rapid snake-like motion of that most beautiful animal to which we have before compared him, he had slid from his bed and stood before the door Of' his room, with half-opened hands, bent head, and slightly parted lips, listening with the whole strength of his brave little heart and his keen brain.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oxonians, Vol. 1 of 3: A Glance at Society An author can as little hope to reform a vice without an exposition of the scenes and circum stances connected with its indulgence, as a sun geon can expect to cure a wound from the dis gusting appearance of which he may shrink with a sensation of false delicacy. If a Rou had been depicted without his vices, he would no' longer have been a Rou ; and if his character had been palliated by any redeeming virtues, that could have excited an interest in his fate, the moral lesson would have been lost.

It is well to say lines upon lines of rails! Hal lingham said it - said it with a groan. Not content with a simple line, or a double line of rails, sufficient for ordinary traffic, the railway authorities had made it into a junction, Ballingham Junction! - and more lines branched off from it than you would care to count. This was at the east end of the town be yond it was the open country. Some of the lines made a sort of semicircle, cut off a corner of the town, and branched off into space. It's true it was a very shabby little corner of the town that had thus been cut off, but Ballingham did not the less resent. The invasion.

Download or read book William Wallace written by James Mackay and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-01-27 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir William Wallace of Ellerslie is one of history's greatest heroes, but also one of its greatest enigmas - a shadowy figure whose edges have been blurred by myth and legend. Even the date and place of his birth have been mis-stated - until now. James Mackay uses all his skills as a historical detective to produce this definitive biography, telling the incredible story of a man who, without wealth or noble birth, rose to become Guardian of Scotland. William Wallace, with superb generalship and tactical genius, led a country with no previous warlike tradition to triumph gloriously over the much larger, better-armed and better-trained English forces. Seven hundred years later, the heroism and betrayal, the valiant deeds and the dark atrocities, and the struggle of a small nation against a brutal and powerful empire, still create a compelling tale.

Download or read book William Wallace written by Andrew Fisher and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Wallace has always been one of the great heroes of Scottish history. By no means prepared by birth, education or training for leadership, Wallace nevertheless rose to prominence during the Wars of Independence, leading forces which broke the sequence of English victories and inspiring his countrymen in the process. While others yielded and collaborated, Wallace set an example of constancy and perseverence and became the Guardian of Scotland. Even his terrible death in London in 1305 can be seen as a victory as it provided inspiration for the continuance of the struggle against English domination. Despite Wallace's almost mythical status, modern-day perceptions of him are not always based on objective analysis of the historical facts. In this revised and expanded edition of his best-selling biography, Andrew Fisher investigates the man and his times to create a more authentic picture of Wallace than has ever been available previously.
