Fifth edition of an original Scottish text with a rather grim frontispiece which documents the final speeches, letters and testimonies of martyrs executed for their faith between 1660 and the late 1680s, serving as a primary record of religious persecution during the reign of King Charles II and James VII. It is considered a cornerstone text for understanding the Presbyterian resistance movement (Covenanters) in Scotland during the ‘Killing Time’.
