Description

Critical account of early Scotland by John Leslie, Bishop of Ross and ambassador to Mary, Queen of Scots. Grounded in extensive first-hand research, particularly in the topographical sections. While much of the earlier history draws on Hector Boece and John Major, the later sections provide an independent account from a Catholic perspective, offering a valuable counterpoint to narratives by Knox and Buchanan. Includes engraved full-page genealogical illustrations with portraits, woodcut initials and tailpieces. Abrahamus Francke bookplate, Trinity College, Cambridge, 1710. 

34 pp., 543 pp., [43]
