A Short History of the Scottish People

MacMillan Donald D. 1927

4.9/5 (28362 ratings)

Description:The recent revival of interest in Scottish history has produced two classes of works: first, large productions, extending to three or four volumes, chiefly meant for men of ample leisure; second, small volumes, written in a simple and popular style, and intended mainly for schools. No work based on recent research has, so far, appeared to fill the gap between these two classes. The present volume is an attempt to supply this desideratum. The ever-growing number of intelligent readers who have neither the time nor the inclination to peruse the large histories, and whose minds are too matured to be satisfied with mere schoolbooks, has been kept steadily in view by the author. He has striven to record every fact of importance, and yet not to overload his narrative with too many distracting details. As the title indicates, it is the History of the People that he has endeavoured to portray. Special attention accordingly has been devoted to their struggles to secure those free institutions through which in the end they were able to express their will. The social conditions that prevailed at different times, by which the life of the people is chiefly illustrated, are dealt with in successive chapters with fullness and in detail.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
