An Historical Account of the Rise and Develoopment of Presbyterianism in Scotland by ALEXANDER HUGH. BRUCE Pdf

Excerpt from An Historical Account of the Rise and Development of Presbyterianism in Scotland Throughout the whole history of the Reformed Church in Scotland one of the most outstanding features will be found to be the overwhelming desire to maintain the independence of the Church from all secular control, and the most characteristic feature of the disputes which went on during the reigns of the Stewart Kings (especially James VI and I, and Charles I), was the failure of those Monarchs to appreciate the Scottish sentiments Of Patriotism, Protestantism and Freedom.

St. Margaret, Queen of Scotland (Classic Reprint) by Henry Grey Graham Pdf

Excerpt from St. Margaret, Queen of Scotland Scotland is not over-rich in saints, or, to speak more correctly, in saints enrolled in the Universal Calendar. And the reproach is sometimes made, half humorously, that its only canonised saint among women - she whom Pope Innocent IV. raised to that honour in 1250, and whose life here follows - came from England. Reasons could easily enough be given to account for the dearth, or, at least, the obscurity, of Scottish saints. Meantime, the fact itself makes St Margaret all the more precious to us. She shines as a bright particular star. There is no Scot, whatever his creed, but is proud that his country, in the days of its independence, numbered her among its queens. The story of St Margaret of Scotland, and of what she, a most devoted child of the Catholic Church, achieved for God and her country, can never be told too often.

Scottish Kings by Archibald Hamilton Dunbar Pdf

Excerpt from Scottish Kings: A Revised Chronology of Scottish History, 1005-1625; With Notices of the Principal Events, Tables of Regnal Years, Pedigrees, Tables, Calendars, Etc This book relates to the Scottish Kings from the accession of Malcolm II. In the year 100 5, to the death of James VI. In 1625. It contains the result of an endeavour to settle, as far as possible, the exact date of the noteworthy events in Scottish history during those six centuries. Unfortunately there are many noteworthy events in the early history of Scotland to which it is impossible to assign the exact date. Pages xviii and xix contain a Table of the Scottish Kings from 1005 to 1625. This Table gives the names of the Sovereigns, the dates when their reigns began, their ages at accession, the dates when their reigns ended, and the lengths of their reigns. It contains the reigns of twenty five Kings; the second reign of Donald Bane; the nominal reign of Margaret, 'the Maid of Norway the First Interregnum; the Second Interregnum; and the reign of Mary Queen of Scots; making a total of thirty periods, or 'reigns' if they may be so called, although the term 'reign is not strictly applicable in every instance. Pages 1-279 contain particulars as to the parentage, birth, marriage, death, burial-place, and issue of each Sovereign, with short notices and the dates of some of the principal events that occurred during their reigns.

The Story of the Scottish Covenants in Outline (Classic Reprint) by D. Hay Fleming Pdf

Excerpt from The Story of the Scottish Covenants in Outline This short sketch was written as an Introduction to the recent edition of the late Rev. J. H. Thomson's "Martyr Graves of Scotland." The publishers having now resolved to issue my sketch separately as a convenient summary of the covenanting struggle, I have revised and considerably enlarged it. No Englishman, it has been said, can distinguish the National Covenant from the Solemn League and Covenant. It is to be feared that many Scotchmen are in the same case. The Covenants, indeed, have been sadly mixed up even by native historians; and comparatively few people seem to have any idea of the number of these religious bonds.

Anglo-Saxon England: Volume 30 by Michael Lapidge,Malcolm Godden,Simon Keynes Pdf

The pre-eminence of Anglo-Saxon England in its field can be seen as a result of its encouragement of interdisciplinary approaches to the study of all aspects of Anglo-Saxon culture. Thus this volume includes an important assessment of the correspondence of St Boniface, in which it is shown that the unusually formulaic nature of Boniface's letters is best understood as a reflex of the saint's familiarity with vernacular composition. A wide-ranging historical contextualization of The Letter of Alexander to Aristotle illuminates the way English readers of the later tenth century may have defined themselves in contradistinction to the monstrous unknown, and a fresh reading of the gendering of female portraiture in a famous illustrated manuscript of the Psychomachia of Prudentius (CCCC 23) shows the independent ways in which Anglo-Saxon illustrators were able to respond to their models. The usual comprehensive bibliography of the previous year's publications rounds off the book; and a full index of the contents of volumes 26-30 is provided. (Previous indexes have appeared in volumes 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25.)
