Présentation de l'éditeur

English history, with a trustworthy sketch of the main features of the history of Scotland. The aim has been made from one definite point of view namely, the relations betweenS cotland andE ngland. Whether those relations take the form of contrast, of hostility, or of attraction leading at last to union, they are, I think, what the beginner ought to have constantly in his mind. He ought cw to learn at the outset of his studies that Britain has been the scene of two kindred developments, one in theS outh and another in theN orth. %4 Si Like, but oh, how different! iC i. He ought to study the two developments in immediate succession, and his historical curiosity ought to be allowed to know no satisfaction until he sees, as the outcome of the two processes, a political iinity securely formed. In spite of the laborious and fruitful work of eminent historians, from Tytler and Hill Burton toD rH ume Brown and Mr Andrew Lang, I doubt whether Scottish history is often, if ever, taught in diis way. For such an omission (i many reasons might be suggested, but two only need be noticed here. One is the enormous vogue of the story of Mary Stewart, the other is the peculiar character of Scottish Protestantism. Vv.
