The Scot of the Eighteenth Century

Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Scot of the Eighteenth Century: His Religion and His Life When one invites his readers to the consideration of the eighteenth century in Scots History, and especially when his subject is its religion, he is conscious of an initial disadvantage, for he cannot depend upon any large capital of knowledge in their minds, or any wealth of living enthusiasm. If the eighteenth century in England be counted drab-coloured by certain persons, it must surely be hopelessly dull in Scotland - a mere link to connect more brilliant ages. It was its misfortune to be preceded by two stirring centuries which were the history of a vast movement - the emancipation of the people from feudal control, and the birth of the middle class. In this century there are no outstanding figures like Queen Mary, that daughter of debate who across the years still fires men to her defence, and was such a Queen, to quote one of Dr. Johnson´s savage flings at Scotland, "As every man of any gallantry of spirit would have sacrificed his life for"; nor any leader of such individuality and elemental force as John Knox.
