Fleming provides a detailed account of the signing of the National Covenant in 1638 and the Solemn League and Covenant in 1643, which united the Scottish and English Presbyterians in their fight against the monarchy. The book also covers the aftermath of the covenants, including the English Civil War, the Restoration of the monarchy, and the persecution of the Scottish Presbyterians under Charles II. Overall, ""The Story Of The Scottish Covenants In Outline"" is a comprehensive and informative account of a significant period in Scottish history.
