A short history and biography of William Lithgow, a famous seventeenth-century traveler who was known for having walked further and in more places than any other Scot. This chapbook is presented as an abridged version of an autobiography published elsewhere, focusing less on Lithgow’s early life, and more on his many adventures he experiences in his travels. A short anecdote follows, describing the humility, justice, and religious devotion of Henry IV of France, who prays for forgiveness on the eve of battle when a Protestant minister chastises him for having seduced the daughter of a noble family. This chapbook is one of a series of histories and biographies of notable Scottish figures which have been bound together in this collection.
