Synopsis
Excerpt from The Church of Scotland: A Sketch of Its History
This Sketch of the History of the Church of Scotland is the first of a series which, with the sanction of the General Assembly, the Committee on Christian Life and Work propose to issue, in the hope that they will be used in Guilds and Bible Classes. Mr. M'Adam Muir has done his work with care, and we believe with success. The Committee are much indebted to him for the promptness with which he has responded to their call. He has brought great pains to his difficult task, and with firm though light hand has striven to assign to men and things their true place in the chequered history of the Scottish Church. The Manual gives to young people an amount of information which they can find nowhere else. It does not come into competition with any others.
A. H. Charteris,
Convener of the Committee on Christian Life and Work.
Oct. 20, 1890.
Preface To Second Edition
The favourable notices by reviewers of the First Edition, and the rapid sale of 5000 copies, have already justified the high expectations with which the Committee issued this book. The present reissue will doubtless meet with an equally favourable reception. Mr. Muir's ungrudging work and high ability have well deserved the success which, in name of the Committee, I gladly acknowledge.
