The first edition of The Covenanters had a gratifying reception from students of Scottish history. The late Andrew Lang thus characterised it: — ‘The truth about the Reformation and about the whole unhappy history of Scotland from 1540 to 1690 is not ce qu’un vain peuple pense [what vain people think]. Dr. Hewison’s two lordly volumes on that period, The Covenanters, give only the traditional view expressed with extraordinary vigour and rigour.’

The demand that the general public should acquire this work in a cheaper form, has led to the preparation of this edition.

The book will again have achieved its purpose if other readers can homologate the criticism of Professor Herkless (The Glasgow Herald, March 17, 1908). ‘The value of this book lies in the fact that it shows the men of the Covenants and their deeds in such a way that the student of history may calmly judge them, and be assured at the same time that in making his judgment he has before him the available relevant facts.’

Hardcover with jacket, 1136 pages, illustrated, notes, bibliography, index plus appendices with a range of additional information and documentation
