By Archibald Pitcairne

Book Overview

The Assembly Or Scotch Reformation: A Comedy is a play written by Archibald Pitcairn in 1766. The play is set in Scotland during the Reformation and follows the story of a group of characters who are attending a church assembly. The play is a satire of the Scottish Presbyterian Church and its leaders, poking fun at their strict adherence to doctrine and their often hypocritical behavior. The characters in the play include a group of ministers, a wealthy landowner, and a group of common people who are struggling to make sense of the changes happening in their country. The play is written in a humorous and irreverent style, and it offers a unique perspective on the history of Scotland and the role of religion in society. Overall, The Assembly Or Scotch Reformation: A Comedy is a witty and entertaining work of literature that provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of 18th century Scotland.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
