Summary "Annals of the Persecution in Scotland: From the Restoration to the Revolution" by James Aikman is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This work chronicles the tumultuous period of persecution faced by Presbyterians in Scotland following the Restoration of the monarchy and the subsequent revival of Episcopacy. Aikman vividly details the religious conflicts and governmental actions that shaped the lives of individuals and the nation during this era of strife. At the start of the narrative, the author sets the tone by reflecting on the historical roots of persecution in Christianity, emphasizing the trials faced by the Scottish church. Aikman takes the reader through the events leading up to the reign of Charles II, discussing the dynamics between the royal authority and the Presbyterian Church, as well as the internal divisions among Protestant factions. Characters such as the Marquis of Argyle and prominent clergymen are introduced, highlighting their roles within the broader context of political and ecclesiastical struggles. The opening establishes an atmosphere of tension and foreshadows the severe repercussions that will follow as the king consolidates power and enforces his will over the church.
