The Story of the Scottish Church: From the Reformation to the Disruption
The first portion of the present Work was published in the year 1846, under the title of "Sketches of Scottish Church History," embracing the period from the Reformation to that of the Revolution. It then appeared in two small volumes.
This portion has now been revised throughout, and whatever was only of passing interest, in the Appendices or elsewhere, has been removed. But the body of the narrative has been almost entirely retained. The continuation of "The Story" — from the Revolution to the Disruption, is recently written, and is now published for the first time. Thus, in its present form, the whole book comprises, within
reasonable compass, a connected "Story of the Scottish Church," from its earliest development at the Reformation, with the varying fortunes of its progress, its revivals, its sufferings, and its declensions — down to the aspect which it bears
at the present day.
