What it is

A partisan and vivid account of the Scottish Reformation, including verbatim reconstructions of the author's own interviews with Mary Queen of Scots.

Why it lasted

The dominant narrative of Scotland's Reformation for four centuries, told entirely from the point of view of one of its leaders.

Where to read it

Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.

These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
