Book Description
Excerpt from Lord Chatham and the Whig Opposition A contest so momentous can hardly be without interest; and, therefore, an attempt has been made to give both a record and an explanation of the failure of the Whigs. For this purpose it. Has been necessary to concentrate the attention almost exclusively upon domestic politics, and to omit much well deserving of close consideration. Colonial history and foreign policy have been but very briefly touched upon and if an exception has been made in the case of the dispute with Spain over the Falkland Islands, this can be justi fied by the influence which those negotiations exercised upon the parliamentary conflict. Such omissions, how ever serious they might be in a work claiming to be a history of the period, may perhaps be pardoned in what is more than a study of one particular aspect of the time and it is to be hoped that if something has been lost in comprehensiveness, something has also been gained in lucidity. It may not be out of place to say a few words about some of the manuscript authorities that have been used.

The Search for Salvation

Book Description
The Search for Salvation is an innovative and interdisciplinary study of lay faith in Scotland in the later Milddle Ages, examining both the religious ideas and practices of the people, and the ways in which these were shaped by images in literature, art, and church writings. Contrary to traditional views, which portray the late medieval Scottish church as weak and corrupt, the book argues for the vitality and flourishing of lay piety in the later fifteenth and first half of the sixteenth century. It thus sheds new light on the coming of the Protestant Reformation, as well as revealing the richness of the world of medieval Scottish religious imagery. Each chapter examines one aspect of faith and the lay responses to it. The first part of the book discusses three central concepts in people's understanding of death and salvation - the Day of Judgement, Heaven and Hell, and Purgatory. The second part looks at the way in which people perceived of and related to three central figures of Christianity: God, Mary and Jesus. In examining such a wide variety of beliefs, the book goes beyond the study of religion to provide an understanding of the nature and functioning of medieval society as a whole.
