Johnston of Warriston is a historical book written by William Morison and published in 1901. The book is a biography of Sir Archibald Johnston, a prominent Scottish lawyer, judge, and politician who lived in the 17th century. Johnston was a key figure in the Covenanting movement, which sought to defend the Presbyterian Church of Scotland against the encroachments of the English Crown. He played a leading role in the drafting of the National Covenant of 1638, which declared the independence of the Scottish Church from the English Church. The book traces Johnston's life from his birth in 1611 to his death in 1663. It describes his education, his legal career, and his political activities, including his tenure as Lord Clerk Register of Scotland and his involvement in the trial and execution of Charles I. The book also provides a detailed account of Johnston's personal life, including his marriage and his relationships with his family and friends.Morison's biography of Johnston is based on extensive research, including archival documents and contemporary accounts. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and general readers. It provides a fascinating insight into the life and times of one of Scotland's most important historical figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
