Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from The Theology and Theologians of Scotland

The issue of the present volume shows the conclu sion to which we have been led. As might have been expected, we have had many difficulties to encounter; but the Lectures seemed to us to contain so much that was fitted to interest and stimulate, as to make an indefinite delay in their publication extremely undesirable. Although the work now appears under great disadvantages, we are confident that it will be welcomed by all friends of the Scottish Church as an acceptable contribution to an important department of its literature.

Excerpt from The Theology and Theologians of Scotland: Chiefly of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries; Being One of the "Cunningham Lectures"

The Trust-deed of the founder requires that each course of Cunningham Lectures shall be published within a year after their delivery. No doubt a law like that could not be meant to be enforced under exceptional circumstances. The illness of a lecturer would doubtless be accepted by the Trustees as a sufficient reason for an extension of time. Unfortunately in the case of Dr. Walker that excuse has existed. In the spring of last year, almost immediately after the delivery of the Lectures, he was laid aside from work of every kind, and has been obliged to spend the winter abroad. The interest produced by the Lectures, however, at the time of their delivery, was so great, that their speedy publication was earnestly pressed by many friends; and this, combined with other things, led to his being asked to consent to their publication in his absence.
