Excerpt from Men of the Covenant, Vol. 1
I have little to add to these sentences, which were penned five years ago. The book they prefaced then has been kindly and even generously received; and I am glad to think that it may have done something to keep in memory those starry gentlemen, the Scottish Covenanters.

Excerpt from Men of the Covenant, Vol. 1
In the march of years, the heroisms of the past, its agonies and triumphs, fade very quickly into a mist of indistinctness. New events, new debates, and new achievements come crowding in, until their predecessors are well-nigh forgotten. That is why this hook has been written. It seeks to recall a notable period, and to summon from the shadows which begin to gather about them some stalwart and noble figures in whose fellowship it is good to linger. I have addressed myself to ordinary readers, who have not the opportunity or the leisure to consult for themselves the pages of James Kirkton and Robert Wodrow, of Patrick Walker and Alexander Shields, of Dr. Osmund Airy and Dr. Hay Fleming. Where the portrait at full length is unattainable, the miniature or the pencilled sketch may have its place and use. Surely we, in our time, ought to know, and, knowing, to praise famous men, and women not a whit less famous - those men and women who, in Mr. Kiplings phrase,
put aside To-day
All the joys of their To-day,
And with toil of their To-day
Bought for Ks To-morrow.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This captivating book explores the captivating lives and beliefs of the Covenanters, a powerful religious and political movement in 17th century Scotland. Set against the backdrop of sectarian conflict and the rise of the Stuart monarchy, the author delves into the motivations, struggles, and profound sacrifices of these men and women. Through the personal narratives of key figures like Alexander Henderson and James Graham, the book sheds light on the Covenanters' unwavering commitment to Presbyterianism, their resistance to religious conformity, and their passionate belief in a Christ-centered society. It examines the complexities of the period, including the fraught relationship between church and state, the clash of ideas during a tumultuous era, and the lasting impact of the Covenanters' legacy on Scottish history and beyond.
