The Story Of The Scottish Covenants In Outline is a historical book written by David Hay Fleming in 1904. The book provides an overview of the Scottish Covenants, which were a series of religious and political agreements made by Scottish Presbyterians in the 17th century. The covenants aimed to preserve the Presbyterian Church's independence from the English monarchy and to uphold the principles of Scottish Protestantism. The book covers the events leading up to the covenants, including the reign of King James VI and I, the rise of the Stuart dynasty, and the conflicts between the Presbyterian Church and the English monarchy. It also discusses the key figures involved in the covenants, such as John Knox, Andrew Melville, and James Guthrie. Fleming provides a detailed account of the signing of the National Covenant in 1638 and the Solemn League and Covenant in 1643, which united the Scottish and English Presbyterians in their fight against the monarchy. The book also covers the aftermath of the covenants, including the English Civil War, the Restoration of the monarchy, and the persecution of the Scottish Presbyterians under Charles II. Overall, The Story Of The Scottish Covenants In Outline is a comprehensive and informative account of a significant period in Scottish history. It offers readers an insight into the religious and political tensions of the time and the impact that the covenants had on Scottish society and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
