EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia print captures a significant moment in history, depicting Covenanters evicting an Episcopalian clergyman. The illustration is taken from Cassell's Illustrated History of England and showcases the religious intolerance that plagued Scotland during the 19th century. The image portrays a scene filled with tension and turmoil as the Covenanters, staunch Protestants, forcefully remove the Episcopalian clergyman from his place of worship. The burning building behind them symbolizes the intensity of their beliefs and their determination to rid Scotland of any opposing religious practices. As we observe this historical event unfold, it becomes evident that even children are not spared from this clash of faiths. A young child can be seen amidst the chaos, highlighting how deeply ingrained these conflicts were within Scottish society. The National Covenant prominently displayed in the image serves as a powerful reminder of the commitment made by these Covenanters to defend their Protestant principles at all costs. Their attack on both property and individuals demonstrates their unwavering dedication to upholding their beliefs. This engraving encapsulates a dark chapter in Scottish history marked by religious strife and violence. It serves as a poignant reminder of how differences in faith can lead to division and conflict within communities.
