Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Thomas M´crie, D. D, Vol. 2: Life of Andrew Melville The Life of Andrew Melville first appeared in November 1819, in two volumes, octavo. It was intended as a continuation of the Life of John Knox. In the closing sentence of the Life, the Author states "the chief reason which induced him to undertake this Work, and to devote so much time and labour to its execution." "If," says he, "the love of pure religion, rational liberty, and polite letters, forms the basis of national virtue and happiness, I know no individual, after her Reformer, from whom Scotland has received greater benefits, and to whom she owes a deeper debt of gratitude and respect, than Andrew Melville." The Work was reviewed more or less favourably by most of the literary and religious periodicals of the day, with the exception of the Edinburgh and Quarterly Reviews. The talented Editor of the former of these Reviews is said to have excused himself for the omission, on the ground that it would require some years´ reading to qualify himself for the task of reviewing such a work.
