Excerpt from Select Works of Robert Rollock, Vol. 1: Principal of the University of Edinburgh

The name of Robert Rollock is identified with the infancy of the University of Edinburgh. That noble institution was truly fortunate in the choice of her first Rector. His education, dis position and habits, admirably fitted him to be the fashioner of her discipline, and to give shape and direction to her methods and her aims.

The Editor of these volumes had made some progress in collecting materials for an extended biography of this inestimable man; but various causes have induced him to abandon, or, at least, to postpone this intention. Among others may be mention ed one, the force of which will be universally recognised. The learned divine who now holds that place which Rollock once held, it is understood, has long contemplated giving to the world an account of the life of his distinguished predecessor. To no one could this duty fall more suitably or gracefully - by no one could it be more efficiently discharged. Should, however, this hope be disappointed, and should it be deemed expedient to continue the publication of the Select Works of Rollock, under other auspices than those of the Wodrow Society, the Editor will do his best to exhibit Rollock, in that most useful career, in which he not only founded the Scottish fame of the Metropolitan University, and instructed our citizens in the lessons of divine truth, but by his voluminous labours, made our theological learning and our orthodoxy to be known and respected in foreign lands.
