Smith's entry in the Oxford DNB explains the background to this pamphlet, explaining that he was 'commissioned to write some articles on biblical subjects for the ninth edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and the first two of these appeared in 1875'Angel' in volume 2 and 'Bible' in volume 3. These articles marked a turning point in his career. The Bible was regarded by the Free Church of Scotland as 'the supreme rule of faith and life', and so anything that might seem to undermine its authority was bound to arouse opposition. An investigation by the college committee of the Free Church found that Smith's opinions as expressed in the article 'Bible' were hardly compatible with his position as a teacher of candidates for the ministry of the church, but provided insufficient grounds to support a process for heresy. Smith maintained that he accepted that the Bible was the one sufficient and authoritative record of divine revelation, and that his critical views were the fruit of studies carried out under the guidance of his teachers at New College, Edinburgh. He therefore demanded that he be given a formal trial by libel (indictment) for his alleged heresies and errors. In the subsequent protracted proceedings in the various church courts Smith, by sheer dialectical skill, was able to beat back the attack on all points except the authorship and purpose of Deuteronomy. The libel proceedings were eventually terminated, but a vote of no confidence in Smith was passed by the general assembly of 1881 and was followed by his summary removal from his chair.' 8pp., 12mo. Disbound without covers. In fair condition, on aged paper, with first and last leaf separated. Comprises a poem 'To the Publisher', dated by 'THE AUTHOR' to 15 April 1878; a poem titled 'The Heresy Hunters'; and another titled 'The Heretic Hunter's Song'. All three are written in lowland Scots. 'The Heresy Hunters' features references to 'The College' and 'SELBIE', as well as the stanza: 'Let dabbler DAVIES spit their spite, | And CRAVENS croak, and BINNIES bite, | And slippery SLOANS, and all unite, | They've neither pith, | Nor can, nor calibre to fight | Professor Smith.' 'The Heretic Hunter's Song' features references to 'Professor Smith' ('a wily loon') and 'Lawyer Davie', as well as 'Doctor Broon'. Pencil comment on line of poem in margin of p.7: 'But faith '. Scarce: the only two copies found on COPAC at the National Library of Scotland and British Library. …

Pamphlet. 64 p.; 21.5 cm. Following the appearance of Smith's article `Bible' in vol. 3 of the 9th edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica on 7 Dec. 1875, in which he wrote: `In this long struggle, which began with the foundation of the theocracy in the work of Moses, and did not issue in conclusive victory until the time of Ezra, the spiritual faith was compelled to show constant powers of new development' (Black & Chrystal, p. 182), in the Edinburgh evening courant for 15 April 1876 the reviewer (A. H. Charteris) hoped that `the publisher and the editor will look after the contributors--or after each other--and cease to pass off rationalistic speculations as ascertained facts.' (p. 189). After growing agitation, a College Committee reported to the General Assembly of the Free Church in May 1877 which then suspended him from his academic duties. Smith then asked the Presbytery of Aberdeen to reduce the charges into a formal libel which after delay was sent to Smith on 12 Feb. 1878, of ways in which he was `denying, tending to deny,or not sufficiently asserting the Divine inspiration of the Bible' (p. 242). Though his Answer (`I have acted on the conviction that loyalty to the Bible, in a Protestant sense, is inseparable from loyalty to the approved laws of scholarly research; for if they are inapplicable to the language of Scripture, God no longer speaks to us in words that we can understand.' (p. 64) was received as `first rate',the case proceeded through Presbytery and General Assembly, resulting in Smith's dismissal from his chair at Aberdeen in 1881. He went on to a distinguished career at Cambridge until his early death in 1894. Good, sidesewn, thumbed and corners worn. Lacks wrapper.…
