Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the Origin of the Secession The origin of this volume and of those which are to follow in the series, is connected to a great extent with the recent auspicious union between the United Secession and Belief Churches. It was believed that the ends contemplated by the Union, as well as those of general edification, would be extensively promoted by putting within the reach of the members both of the United Presbyterian and of other churches, historic sketches of the origin of both sections of the united body, in a form so condensed as to be capable of being read by all, and at a price so low as to be capable of being purchased by all. The same ends would be gained by reviving and widely circulating in the same form the early literature of the Secession and Belief Churches. Their history and early literature are to a great extent their Testimony and Defence. The Historical Sketch of the Origin of the Secession Church which follows, is neither fitted nor designed to supersede more full and elaborate narratives. It is what it professes to be - a sketch - and nothing more. The History by Dr. M´Kerrow is, and must continue to be, the ´Thesaurus´ of Secession History. In composing our sketch we have preferred however to draw our information for the most part from earlier documents, and have gone, wherever we could, to the fountain-head. The first two chapters and the greater part of the third were written in the manner we have described; but we have been delighted on comparing our own impressions with those of the Historian of the Secession, to mark the extent and accuracy of his research. For some facts in our third chapter, and for much that is contained in our fourth, we willingly acknowledge our obligations to his able work.
