Publisher's Synopsis
The Book of Perth, written by John Parker Lawson in 1847, is an in-depth analysis of the moral and ecclesiastical state of Scotland before and after the Reformation. The book focuses specifically on the city of Perth, which was once a major center of religious and political power in Scotland. Lawson begins by exploring the pre-Reformation period, describing the Catholic Church's influence on the city and the various religious orders that operated there. He then goes on to examine the impact of the Reformation on Perth, including the rise of Protestantism and the subsequent decline of Catholicism. Throughout the book, Lawson also delves into the broader social and political context of Scotland during this time period, touching on issues such as the influence of the monarchy, the power struggle between religious factions, and the impact of the Reformation on Scottish culture and identity. The book is notable for its detailed historical analysis, as well as its insights into the complex religious and political landscape of Scotland during the Reformation era. It remains a valuable resource for scholars and historians interested in this period of Scottish history.With Introduction, Observations, And Notes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
