Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dr. Archibald Scott of St. George´s, Edinburgh and His Times This work is not a biography of Dr Archibald Scott. Neither he nor his family contemplated any such undertaking, and all his papers and correspondence, except those of the last few years of his life, were destroyed after his death. The genesis of this work was the request made to me by those upon whose judgment I rely, to prepare such a contemporary record of the public events with which Dr Scott was associated as might form a "source" for the future historian of the Church of Scotland. Upon taking up the matter, however, I found two things. In the first place I found that, for events down to the close of last century, the ground was pretty well covered by Dr Gordon´s biography of Dr Charteris, supplemented as it has been as to some details by the memoirs of Dr Story and Dr MacGregor. In the second place, my preliminary researches convinced me that, if Scott was eminent as a Church leader, his real pre-eminence was as a pastor. These considerations have somewhat modified the scope of this work. If they have diminished its value to a studious posterity, I trust they may have given it more of contemporary interest.
