This collection, "The Letters and Journals of Robert Baillie ... M.DC.XXXVII.-M.DC.LXII", offers a fascinating glimpse into 17th-century Scotland through the eyes of Robert Baillie (1599-1662), a prominent Scottish clergyman and academic. Edited by David Laing, the journals and extensive correspondence provide invaluable insights into the religious, political, and social upheavals of the era, including the Scottish Reformation, the English Civil War, and the Restoration.
Baillie's writings shed light on the key figures and events that shaped the destiny of Scotland and Britain. His observations and reflections offer a unique perspective on the debates and conflicts that defined the period. This collection is an essential resource for historians, theologians, and anyone interested in the history of Scotland and the broader British Isles.
