The Persecuted Family is a historical narrative written by Robert Pollok in 1843. The book tells the story of the Covenanters, a group of Scottish Presbyterians who were persecuted during the reign of Charles II in the 17th century. The Covenanters were known for their resistance to the king's attempts to impose Anglican practices on the Scottish church, and as a result, many of them were imprisoned, tortured, and even executed. The book follows the story of one Covenanter family in particular, who are forced to flee their home and go into hiding to avoid persecution. The family faces numerous challenges and dangers as they try to stay one step ahead of the authorities, and the book provides a vivid and emotional portrayal of their struggles. Throughout the book, Pollok highlights the courage and faith of the Covenanters, who were willing to suffer and die for their beliefs. He also criticizes the cruelty and injustice of the king and his supporters, who were willing to use any means necessary to suppress dissent. Overall, The Persecuted Family is a powerful and moving account of a dark period in Scottish history, and a testament to the resilience and determination of those who stood up for their beliefs in the face of persecution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
