[Book ii. only with their aid was he able to quell a rising in the north and maintain his seat on the throne. Of all the reigns of Scottish kings that of David is un- doubtedly the most memorable in every aspect of the life of a people. In its radical breach with the past it has its onl}- parallel in the sixteenth century, when a new religion changed the destinies of the nation. But in the extent of its civic, political, and ecclesiastical changes it surpasses in importance the religious revolu...tion which gave the country to Protestantism. Like that revolution the transformation wrought by David placed the country in new relations to the other countries of Christendom. But besides remoulding the church, he recast the social condition of the people in such degree as makes his reign an epoch in the national development. At no period of its history has Scotland ever stood relatively so high in the scale of nations. By a fortunate combination of circumstances, the country profited beyond its neighbours in the great awaken- ing of Christendom throughout the nth century.
