The Venerable John Ogilvie, S.J.: A Sketch Of His Life (1915) is a biographical account of the life of John Ogilvie, a Scottish Jesuit priest who was martyred in 1615. The book was written by Daniel Conway and published in 1915. The book provides a detailed account of John Ogilvie's life, from his childhood in Scotland to his time studying in Europe and his eventual decision to become a Jesuit priest. It also details his work as a missionary in Scotland during a time when Catholicism was outlawed and the harsh penalties that were imposed on those who practiced the religion. The book goes on to describe the events that led to Ogilvie's arrest, trial, and eventual execution for refusing to renounce his Catholic faith. It also includes accounts of his imprisonment and torture, as well as the reactions of his fellow Jesuits and the wider Catholic community to his death. Overall, The Venerable John Ogilvie, S.J.: A Sketch Of His Life provides a fascinating insight into the life of a remarkable man who stood up for his beliefs in the face of persecution and ultimately paid the ultimate price for his faith. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Catholicism in Scotland and the wider world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
