''The Martyrs, Heroes and Bards of the Scottish Covenant'' is a historical book written by George Gilfillan. The book is a tribute to the Scottish Covenanters who fought for religious freedom and independence in the 16th and 17th centuries. The author covers the stories of many notable figures, including John Knox, Andrew Melville, and James Renwick, who were instrumental in the Scottish Reformation and the Covenanting movement. The book also includes accounts of the brutal persecution and martyrdom of many Covenanters who stood up against the tyranny of the Stuart monarchs. The author also pays homage to the poets and balladeers who kept the spirit of the Covenant alive through their literature and songs. This book is a comprehensive and stirring account of the Scottish Covenanters and their legacy, and is a must-read for anyone interested in Scottish history and the struggle for religious freedom.The Purpose Of This Volume Is To Present A Succinct And Impartial Account Of The History Of The Scottish Covenant, An Unbiased Estimate Of The Character Of Its Principal Actors, And Some General Deductions Applicable To The Great Question Of The Present Day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
