Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Works of Jonathan Swift, D.D., Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin, Vol. 12: Containing Additional Letters, Tracts, and Poems, Not Hitherto Published
The Captain having made over all his little estate to a beloved daughter, upon her marriage, on the condition of being entertained in her house for the small remainder of his life, has put it out of his own power either to supply his incidental wants, to pay some long contracted debts, or to gratify his gener ous nature in being farther useful to his family: on which accounts he desires to return his most humble thanks to his worthy subscribers; and hopes they will consider him no farther than as an honest, well meaning man, who, by his own personal courage and conduct, was able to distinguish himself, under many disadvantages, to a degree, that few private lives have been attended with so many singular and extraordinary events.
Besides the great simplicity in the style and manner of the author, it is a very valuable circum stance, that his plain relation corrects many mistaken passages in other historians, which have too long passed for truths; and whoever impartially compares both, will probably decide in the Captain's favour.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This memoir by Captain John Creichton offers a vivid account of the turbulent religious and political landscape of 17th-century Scotland. Creichton, a soldier loyal to the Crown, chronicles his daring exploits against rebellious Covenanters, providing unique insights into the brutality and fanaticism that marked this era of conflict. The book delves into the motivations and beliefs of both sides, shedding light on the deep-rooted tensions between Presbyterians and Episcopalians. Creichton's personal experiences as a persecutor of Covenanters reveal the complex interplay between religious fervor, political allegiances, and the human cost of war. His narrative offers a valuable historical record and a poignant reminder of the devastating consequences of religious intolerance.
