Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of Scotland, From the Union of the Crowns on the Accession of James Vi to the Throne of England, to the Union of the Kingdoms in the Reign of Queen Anne, Vol. 1 of 4: With a Preliminary Dissertation on the Participation of Mary, Queen of Scots, in the Murder of Darnley
During the whole of the civil wars, it is im possible to separate the history of the two king doms. Without departing therefore from my professed design, I have entered largely into the relative affairs of England, and have omitted no opportunity to illustrate, concisely, the most disputed passages concerning the origin and continuance of the civil wars, the character and' motives of Charles I. And the cause of his death. It is here, where the judgment is pro-occupied with some historical theory or political system, that I anticipate the principal objections to my work but if I deviate from our recent'histo rians, I approach the nearer to those original authorities which I have been the more careful to quote, and which they, who dispute my conclusions, will do well to consult.
