Excerpt from Treasury of the Scottish Covenant This book is not intended to furnish a history of the Covenant; but, as its name imports, to constitute a Treasury, or repertory, whence those who are interested in the study of the subject may derive what knowledge they seek, or find a sign-post pointing to it elsewhere, - and where likewise they may discover somewhat of the wealth of Covenanting literature, as indicated by the treasures gathered together into this storehouse from different lands and from different periods of time. The object which the compiler has had in view has been to present a picture, based on the best of all testimony, of the religious life of Scotland, from the period of the Reformation to the present time, and particularly to supply the youth of the land - fast acquiring a taste in too many instances for light reading - with a work bearing upon the history of their country, such as the writer himself would have been pleased to meet with a quarter of a century ago: - to wit, a volume embodying the chief historic documents connected with a period of Scottish history full of incident, and spiritually bracing and invigorating; - containing, secondly, an enumeration and specification of the principal literary productions of the Covenanters in the course of the long-sustained and heroic resistance offered by them to the spiritual despotism which was sought to be thrust upon them, and in defence of our civil and religious liberties; - supplying likewise such notices of confessors and martyrs, - of heroic men and women, - of gentle and humble birth, - as might be calculated to provoke emulation on the part of their descendants, check downward tendency, rebuke indifferentism, and urge to still higher advances along the lines of true national progress; together with such references to scenes, incidents, and objects of interest as might induce young men and women to visit the rich Covenanting shrines of Scotland, and draw courage and inspiration from the memories and associations of events bygone.

This incredible history presents a precise overview of the events of 17th-Century Scotland. The author, David Hay Fleming, delivered an accurate report on The National Covenant (1638) and the Solemn League and Covenant (1643), the defining agreements of two different phases of the mid‐17th‐century Covenanting Revolution. The National Covenant was signed by the people of Scotland in 1638, resisting the suggested reforms of the Church of Scotland by King Charles I. On the other hand the Solemn League and Covenant was an agreement between the Scottish Covenanters and the heads of the English Parliamentarians in 1643 during the First English Civil War. Fleming included the names of the famous personalities linked with the events and the several places and dates of their occurrence. In addition, he wrote several unknown facts about the subject that keep the readers curious throughout. It's a perfect read for history beginners and enthusiasts.
