This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Andrew, the Patron Saint of Scotland Other countries than Scotland have their tutelar Saints. England honors St. George, who is represented on horseback, clad in full armor with a vanquished dragon at his feet. Ireland patronises St. Patrick; while the guardian saint of Spain is St. James of France, St. Denis; of Italy, St. Anthony; and of Wales, St. David. The patron Saints of Genoa, are St. George, St. Lawrence and St. John the Baptist. On the piazzetta at Venice, their are two granite columns, one bearing the Winged Lion of St. Mark, the emblem of the tutelary Saint of Venice; the other, St. Theodore on a crocodile, the patron of the ancient Republic. St. Michael is regarded 'as the patron or guardian angel of the Jews. But this is a degression. I will not test your patience by reference to other celebrities, but proceed at once to present the historical and legendary account of our own revered patron Saint, who is also the patron of Russia, Hungary and Burgundy. In this effort to throw some new light upon the history of St. Andrew, and to illustrate his character, I shall necessarily blend to a very large extent, the authentic record of Scripture with statements which rest alone on tradition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How St. Andrew Came to Scotland IN the year 429 a Synod of Gallican bishops ordained St Germanns and St Lupus to go into Britain to Oppose the Pelagian heresy - Pelagius having died in 420. Pelagius' heresy seems to have had, at least for one of its tenets, multiple marriage. As Celestius his companion when in Rome was said to have been gorged with Scottish porridge, they evidently came from those northern regions notable for their darkness, the long dark ness of winter, where was practised what St Jerome (340-420) speaks of as the immoral Scottish and Attacotish rite: the Scots, according to him (226. Jerome), not having wives peculiar to each, but as if they had chosen the policy of Plato practised what is euphemistically called free love. What we have received of this journey into Britain relates almost entirely to the doings of Germanus, but speaks of him as if throughout accompanied by Lupus, and informs us they were very active.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Andrews Of Mr. Hodge1 suggested the writing of the book. We try to present some pictures of the half Obliterated past. Very many persons yearly visit St. Andrews; of these some may care to know more of that venerable town than can be learned from assiduous application to golf. Old students, too, may like to have a memorial of their Alma Mater, and to glance at the part which Town and University have played in the history of the country. It is no mean part, for even after the days of the ancient Church, most of the Scottish actors in the Reformation and the civil broils of the seventeenth century were St. Andrews men. The later condi tions of life have told hardly against the oldest, most beautiful, and most academic of Scottish Universities, but we have a great past, and we should not despair of the future.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Archbishops of St. Andrews, Vol. 2 The battle of Flodden, with victory for the arms of Henry VIII., showed that English diplomacy had failed in Scotland. The marriage of James IV. with the Princess Margaret, arranged for purposes of international peace, had bound a man and woman together, but had left their countries to jealousies and intrigues. Eager to avenge injuries done to his subjects, and cherishing sympathy for France, fretted by the Holy League, James had marched across the Border, and had fallen beside his son and his most illustrious men.

These advantages are certainly not limited to the citizens, but fully accrue to the general public. The City is provided with extensive boarding esta blishments, in which youth of all ages are received, at very moderate charges, and tended with the utmost care, besides being provided with well qualified tutors. Lodging houses, and separate houses of convenient size for those who prefer them, are also numerous; and as from the limited extent of the City, each individual youth is known to the citizens or his teachers, parents and guardians may rest satisfied, that here the minds and manners of their children and wards Will'fl'ahm be untainted, as amid the dissoluteness of the capital, and the gross luxury of the town of commerce. To aspiring and diligent young men of limited means, desirous of following out a University education, St. An drews affords peculiar and remarkable advantages. The large number of bursaries connected with the Colleges many of which are decided by competition, and the rest bestowed on the indigent and meritorious - and the uni form certainty of being recommended, soon after the com mencement of their curriculum, as tutors during the sum mer months, lead to the promotion and advancement of many indigent youth of genius, who had otherwise aspired in vain.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Delineations of St. Andrews: Being a Particular Account of Every Thing Remarkable in the History and Present State of the City and Ruins, the University, and Other Interesting Objects of That Ancient Ecclesiastical Capital of Scotland Amid the numerous performances of this sort which have lately appeared, many have expressed their regret that no account of St Andrews should have been off'ered'to the public.
