Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Montrose and the Convenanters, Their Characters and Conduct, Vol. 1: Illustrated From Private Letters and Others Original Documents Hitherto Unpublished, Embracing the Times of Charles the First, From the Rise of the Troubles in Scotland, to the Death of Montrose Some years ago, having occasion to examine the Napier charter-chest, I discovered materials there which suggested the idea of illustrating, more fully and originally than had hitherto been done, the lives of two of the greatest worthies, in their separate walks, whom Scotland has produced, viz. Napier and Montrose. Different as were the characters and pursuits of the Inventor of Logarithms, and the Hero of the Scottish Troubles, some of the illustrations contained in the "Memoirs of John Napier of Merchiston," and those now brought together to elucidate the comparative merits of "Montrose and the Covenanters," are not without an historical connexion. Napier, a great champion of the Protestant Church, attracted the eyes of Europe even more, in his own day, by his very learned and original Commentaries on the Apocalypse, than by his immortal discovery in mathematics.
