Excerpt from Lectures on the History of the Church of Scotland: Delivered in Edinburgh in 1872
I would venture here to repeat what was, in fact, implied throughout the Lectures, that they do not profess to give anything like a complete account of the history of the Scot tish Church. Some of its most conspicuous personages, such as John Knox and Andrew Melville some of its most conspicuous features, such as its system of education and of discipline some of its most conspicuous events, the General Assembly of 1638, and the Disruption of 1843, have been passed over, partly as sufficiently well known, partly for other reasons equally obvious.
