This well-known book gives the history of Scotland from the earliest period to the close of the reign of James V.
The present work has been slightly abridged by the omission of detailed descriptions of some of the more barbarous cruelties of those times and other unimportant matter. The story unimpaired has been given in Scott's own language.--Preface.
