About this title

Synopsis

The Memoirs Of Walter Pringle, Ed. By W. Wood, With Notes And An Appendix by Walter Pringle. This edition compiles the autobiographical memoirs of Walter Pringle of Greenknowe, a 17th-century Scottish Covenanter, edited by the Rev. W. Wood with notes and an appended account of his families. The work blends personal spiritual reflections, family history, and political-religious testimony from the tumultuous years of the Covenant and the Restoration. It presents Pringle’s own confession of sin, faith, and salvation, his early religious education, his experiences in war and exile, and his steadfast commitment to the covenanting cause amidst imprisonments and persecutions under the 1660s regime. Interleaved with Pringle’s exhortations to his children, the text includes long, intimate sections on providence, prayer, and the Christian life, as well as an extensive appendix detailing the Gordons, Setons, and Pringles of Galashiels and Greenknowe. The volume also contains a Preface by the editor and a closing letter from the author, supplemented by genealogical material that situates the memoir in Scottish family history.
