The political force behind this act was the Kirk, where the aim was to bring the written scriptures to the population as a whole. This came about when the Scottish Parliament introduced an “Act for Setting Schools” in 1696. ![]() Is it not surprising that Scotland, considered to be western Europe’s poorest country, and with such a small population, should have such a dramatic impact upon the rest of the world? To understand how that came about it is necessary to look back at Scottish history and to realise that Scotland was the first European country to achieve general literacy among its population. Other famous Scots include John Witherspoon, a presbyterian minister from Paisley who became the father of the American educational systems William Patterson of Dumfries who founded the Bank of England John Paul Jones of Kirkbean who founded the US Navy John MacDonald as the first Prime Minister of Canada John Muir the pioneer of modern conservation programmes ……and the list goes on!

Third, the art was second rate, so it took all of Waid’s story telling chops to pull this off as well as he did.įinally, “Interminable” is done. ![]() Next to Kingdom Come, it’s Waid’s crowning achievement. I didn’t rate all the books at five stars, one I even gave only three, and the story as a whole could have been trimmed by, say, six issues and would have been tight as a drum but, and I’ve typed this before, and yet still, it bears repeating: If you like your comics sporting capes and/or cowls, you really should pick this up. ![]() Second, the rating for this issue is more a reflection on the series as whole and not this particular volume, which comes in at about 4 stars. *sob*īottom line: First, props to my library for actually having all ten volumes of this saga, it’ll be a cold day in hell and all that….
