History of the Affairs of Church and State in Scotland, from the Beginning of the Reformation to the Year 1568, Vol. 1 of 3: With Biographical Sketch, Notes, and Index (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from History of the Affairs of Church and State in Scotland, From the Beginning of the Reformation to the Year 1568, Vol. 1 of 3: With Biographical Sketch, Notes, and Index
The great merit and value of Bishop Keith's "History of the Affairs of Church and State in Scotland" are so well known, and prominently noticed in the Biographical Sketch which follows, that any observations here are unnecessary. The Sub-Committee of the Spottiswoode Society, in selecting this Work as one of the first Publications for the Members, were confident that they would secure their approbation by placing before them a standard narrative of the exciting times preceding and during the Reign of Queen Mary.
As the First Book of Bishop Keith's "History," which, with its Appendix of Documents, comprises this Volume, is chiefly introductory to his Second and Third Books, many illustrative Notes were necessary, in addition to those by the Bishop. The main design was to make the Work a comprehensive repertory of those important events to which our Historian often merely alludes in his narrative. The Editor hopes that he has succeeded in his object, and that a mass of interesting information is here collected, while he has carefully avoided those details which more properly belong to Archbishop Spottiswoode's "History of the Church and State of Scotland," from A.D. 203 to A.D. 1625. For all the Notes inclosed by brackets, thus [], having the letter E. annexed, in the "History" and Appendix, the Editor is responsible.
