Excerpt from History of Scotland, Vol. 1: To the Accession of Mary Stewart N accordance with the plan of the Series to which this book belongs, it should have dealt with Scottish history mainly during the last four centuries. In the case of Scotland, however, there was a special reason for departing from this plan. There is not in existence a compendious history of Scotland which at once supplies a consecutive narrative of events, and seeks to trace the gradual consolidation of the various elements that have gone to the making of the Scottish people. It is as an attempt to meet this want that this book was conceived and written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
