Scottish historical account, 17th century.
Content Description
Account of events in Scotland from 1589 to 1641, by an unidentified 17th-century author. Probably part of a larger history; a label on the spine designates this volume as "Vol. IX", and there is no introduction or title page of any kind. The author was probably based in Edinburgh and describes particularly the religious developments of 1637-1641 in a lively, sympathetic manner.
