Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Scotland, Vol. 1 of 4: Translated From the Latin Our author concludes exactly at a time when the propriety of thus separating the two stories ceased, and when religion and politics became so intermingled, that to have separated, would have been to have hurt both. My plan in the continuation of course deviated materially in this respect, I combined the two to the utmost extent that I could go, without destroying the prominent features of a general history, and have incorporated the public political acts of the church, yet avoiding the details of her internal regulations, and those controversies and proceedings, which were strict ly religious.

Download or read book Scotland Vol 1 of 2 Classic Reprint written by Sir Walter Scott and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scotland, Vol. 1 of 2 The Author was invited to undertake this general Sketch of Scottish History in connection with a similar abridgment of English History by Sir James Mackin tosh, and a History of Ireland by Thomas Moore, Esquire. There are few literary persons who would not have been willing to incur much labor and risk of reputation for the privilege of publishing in such society. On the present occasion, the task, though perhaps still a rash one, was rendered more easy by the Author having so lately been employed on the volumes called Tales of a Grandfather, transferred from the History of Scotland, for the benefit of a young relation. Yet the object and tenor of these two works are extremely different. In the Tales taken from Scottish history, the author, throwing into the shade, or rather omitting all that could embarrass the under standing or tire the attention of his juvenile reader, was desirous only to lay before him what was best adapted to interest his imagination, and confining himself to facts, to postpone to a later period an investigation of the principles out of which those facts arose.

Download or read book The History of Scotland Vol 1 written by Thomas Wright and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Scotland, Vol. 1: From the Earliest Period to the Present Time AT the period when Britain was invaded by Julius Caesar, it was inhabited by a variety of separate and independent tribes, which were not all of the same race or equally civilised. The population of the wooded districts in the interior was naturally wilder and more barbarous than the inhabitants of the ma ritime parts, which were, from an early period, in continual intercourse with the still more cultivated peoples of Gaul, and the forests and mountains of the north must have harboured a race less civilised than either. The Romans, after the expedition under Claudius, spent nearly forty years in subduing the southern Britons, before they came in contact with the Caledonians. In the year 80 of the Christian era, Julius Agricola first carried the Roman arms into what is now termed Scotland, and subju gated the country south of the narrow isthmus formed by the Clyde and the Forth.

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.

This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Scotland, From the Earliest Period to the Present Time, Vol. 1: Part 2 Queen margaret had now lost the con fidence and respect of all parties, and as she saw her friends and supporters falling off, she became suspicious of those who sur rounded her, and sought to protect herself by planning new intrigues. A parliament was called in Edinburgh, one of the most important objects of which was to establish a truce with England; but it required the presence of the queen, as president of the council of state. Under pretence that her person was in danger, the queen refused to proceed to Edinburgh for this purpose, and it was resolved to omit this formality. This proceeding threw the power into the hands of the council of state, over whom the influ ence of the earl of Angus was very great. Margaret felt that this proceeding implied that she was deserted by the English party, and, resolving at once to throw herself into the arms of France, she attempted to open a negotiation with the queen-mother, who, after the captivity of the French king at Pavia, had assumed the regency of that kingdom. But at this moment a peace was suddenly concluded between England and France, which paralyzed the French faction in Scotland, and overthrew all Margaret's hopes.
