Excerpt from History of Glasgow, Vol. 2: From the Reformation to the Revolution
The volume now published covers a period which has been less exploited than perhaps any other by writers who have dealt with the annals of Glasgow. It was the period during which the country passed through the greatest of its revolutions - the political and social upheaval which followed the Reforma tion. It was the time of the greatest of our civil wars - the struggle between Episcopacy and Presbyterianism. Its mighty moving spirits were John Knox and Oliver Cromwell, the brilliant Marquess of Montrose and the astute Marquess of Argyll. Covenanter and Cavalier in turns held the reins of government, and in turns worked their will upon the opposing faction. In all these exciting movements the city of Glasgow played an outstanding part, and its annals throw a vivid and often new and highly suggestive light upon the history of Scotland of that time. Argyll's huge borrowings from the Glasgow magistrates, still unrepaid the vital effects upon the fortunes of Montrose of his leniency to the city of which he was personally a near neighbour; the experiment of Charles I in nationalising the sea fisheries of the West of Scotland and a score of other facts illuminated by these annals, all involved issues worthy of more consideration than they have yet received from historians.
