Biographia Scotican : (Scots Worthies). by John Howie and W H Carslaw. As with all good Christian biography books, Scots Worthies offers you a glimp into the lives of God's people in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. I believe its central message is to amaze you with God's amazing grace towards sinners. This book could have been called the jewels of the Holy Spirit. If you are intrested in God's power to save sinners, then this book is a must for every libary. If you thirst to see the power of God unto salvation, then drink deeply of this book and cherish the fruit that is evidenced in the lives of these godly people.

Dr Horatio Scott Carslaw FRSE LLD (12 February 1870, Helensburgh, Dumbartonshire, Scotland – 11 November 1954, Burradoo, New South Wales, Australia) was a Scottish-Australian mathematician. The book he wrote with his colleague John Conrad Jaeger, Conduction of Heat in Solids, remains a classic in the field. He was born in Helensburgh the son of the Rev Dr William Henderson Carslaw (a Free Church minister) and his wife, Elizabeth Lockhead. He was educated at The Glasgow Academy

However, Carslaw & Jaeger, Conduction of Heat in Solids, has very few illustrations of the configurations analyzed. The following compendium has extracted the information from Carslaw & Jaeger, as well as many other sources, and illustrates all of the configurations.

From Inside the Book's Jacket:John Howie of Lochgoin (1735-1793), author of the classic work, The Scots Worthies, lived all his days in relative obscurity in Ayrshire in the south-west of Scotland which, in earlier times, had been the scene of many notable events in the history of the Covenanters. Lacking the benefit of formal higher education, he was nevertheless well-read and deeply educated in the history of his Christian forebears. Conscious of the unfounded criticism and misrepresentation of them which had arisen even in the eighteenth century he devoted himself to compiling this fascinating volume of cameo pen-portraits. But his concern was more than historical. He recognised the power of Christian biography to instruct and inspire and to exemplify the outworking of the grace of God in human life. Howie's chief aim was to write in such a way that readers would be encouraged to grasp the heroic, sacrificial, and glorious nature of life consecrated unreservedly to Christ.Within the covers of a single volume John Howie's The Scots Worthies offers stirring mini-biographies of the great roll-call of the Christian heroes of Scotland in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. A unique work it includes all the figures described by John Dickson while himself a prisoner for Christ on the Bass Rock: 'Innocent Hamilton, godly and patient Wishart, apostolic Knox, eloquent Rollock, worthy Davidson, courageous Melville, prophetic Welch, majestic Bruce, great Henderson, renowned Gillespie, learned Binning, pious Gray, laborious Durham, heavenly-minded Rutherford, the faithful Guthries, diligent Blair, heart-melting Livingstone, religious Welwood, orthodox and practical Brown, zealous and steadfast Cameron, honest-hearted Cargill, sympathising M'Ward, persevering Blackader, the evangelical Traills, constant and pious Renwick

This is a facsimile edition, but a particularly clear one. There are occasional page blemishes, but no missing pages, distorted pages, or annoying archaic letters (such as s that looks like an f). There is some difficulty from historical or geographic references, as well as odd words, that have no meaning to us today, so there are incidentals that are hard to follow, but the stories as a whole are quite readable. In a way, that is what makes this book hard to read. Not in the physical sense of seeing, but rather in the mental sense of accepting what is read. These were men who suffered, were banished, or even executed in particularly gruesome ways because of their bold preaching. It is a sharp condemnation of our spiritual impotence and latitudinarianism in today's church, even the Reformed church. What king or pope would shiver at the name of any preacher today? Yet, there was a time when the Stuart kings feared for their thrones at the mention of the Covenanters, and they defended their power like vultures struggling over a scrap of carrion.

I would give it ten stars but that wasn't an option. This book is a treasure and would be such a blessing to the reader. This book offers mini biographies of the Scottish covenanters as they walked by faith with their eyes on our Savior. This has been such an encouragement to me and I heartily recommend it.

This book contains formatting errors, has missing or partial words on every page. It appears that the conversion to Kindle format was bad and the seller decided to offer the product anyway. It is essentially a worthless product! Buy a hardcopy if you want to read this book.

Haven't finished this book yet - what I have read has been really good. Watched the video "Scottish Covenanters" to get some more background. I think also the book "Fair Sunshine" by Jock Purves will give you another background glimpse.

Purchased the Kindle version, has multiple pages missing and most notably the pages of contents. Very very disappointed. Tried deleting and re-downloading to no avail. A total waste of money.
