SCOTLAND AND THE UNION A HISTORY OF SCOTLAND FROM 1695 TO 1747 BY WILLIAM LAW MATHIESON AUTHOR OF 'POLITICS AND RELIGION IN SCOTLAND PEOM 1550 TO 1695' GLASGOW JAMES MACLEHOSE AND SONS PttbUshsrs to the itnihcrsito 1905 OLASOOW PKINTED : AT THE UKIVEBSITY PRESS BY EOBEBT MACLEHOSE ANI CO. LTD. PREFACE. This work is a continuation, on a broader and more comprehensive plan, of one which I published three years ago ; and the title is sufficient to indicate its scope as a history of Scotland during the period, extending from the completion of the Revolution Settlement to the enactments occasioned by the last Jacobite revolt, which may be distinguished as that of the origin, the accomplishment, and the consolidation of the Union. Such completeness as can be claimed for the epoch is political, and, to some extent, ecclesiastical. Without exceeding its bounds, it would have been impossible to do justice to social changes, other than economic, or to the rise of literature and philosophy ; and I have refrained the more readily from developing these themes as I hope to have an opportunity of dealing with them as illustrations of the material and intellectual progress which was to signalise the latter half of the eighteenth century. My principal source of information, in addition to printed volumes, has been the collection of pamphlets VI PREFACE in the Advocates' Library. I have derived some help from manuscripts in the British Museum and the a University of Edinburgh ; and, in acknowledging more considerable obligation to the officials of the Church of Scotland, I should like to thank the Kev. James Christie, D.D., for aid in investigating the records committed to his charge. My most cordial thanks are due to the Assistants at the Signet, University, and Advocates' Libraries, on whose unfailing courtesy and patience I have frequently imposed a heavy tax.

From his student days he had been an avid book collector. He formed relationships with antiquarian booksellers throughout the north of England. His interests were eclectic but focused on English literature of the 17th and 18th centuries. Several of my father’s books have survived in the present collection. During childhood I paid little attention to his books but in later years I too became a collector. During the war I was evacuated to the Lake District and my school in Keswick incorporated Greta Hall, where Coleridge lived with Robert Southey and his family. So from an early age the Lake Poets were a significant part of my life and a focus of my book collecting.

    Evening Study -- (1649-1660)

    Reformed Presbyterian Church History: The Commonwealth to the Westminster RPC Restoration of Charles II (1647-1661) September 13, 2009 Monarchy to Commonwealth to Monarchy 1643-1649 Westminster Assembly 1647 The CoS adopted the Westminster Confession of Faith 1648 The Engagement: Scottish nobles agreed to reestablish Charles I. In return, Charles I promised to support the covenants and establish Presbyterianism for 3 years. In July, The CoS General Assembly met to condemn the Engagement. 1648/1649 Charles I was condemned for treason and executed by Oliver Cromwell. Cromwell became the “Protector of the Commonwealth.” His reign between kings was called the Interrregnum. He was a military dictator. He was an independent, and he put an end to the Presbyterian church government in the Church of England. 1649 The “Act of Classes:” excluded “Engagers” from service in either the government or army. This was passed by the Parliament. They would not allow covenant breakers in the government. Scotland was a Christian and Reformed nation; therefore, this religious filter was necessary. Some thought that the Act of Classes was too harsh, and it began a division within the covenanting movement, which ultimately led to the failure of the covenanters. 1650 The “Protectorate:” • After the death of Charles II, Scottish nobles, such as the Marquis of Argyle and James Guthrie, attempted to make Charles II king. They made Charles II publicly renounce Popery and Prelacy, and He had to profess adherence to the Solemn League and Covenant. He lied to Scotland and agreed to these terms. • Oliver Cromwell invaded Scotland and defeated the Scottish army at the Battle of Dunbar.
