Excerpt from Our Scottish Clergy: Fifty-Two Sketches, Biographical, Theological, & Critical, Including Clergymen of All Denominations A very generally-expressed desire to have Portraits of the Clergymen, delineated in the series of Sketches, has led to great efforts to meet it. In making these the publishers met with the cordial co-operation of the Clergymen whose portraits now appear. Some of them kindly sat to painters of eminence, well known in Glasgow, and others of them cheerfully allowed the use of family portraits. It were folly to expect that, in every case, successful portraits have been secured. A number of them are unquestionable likenesses, and, of all of them, it may be said that they, at least, suggest the originals. No expense has been spared to render them, as far as possible, truthful, and in many cases parties interested have been pleased to express their entire approbation. Considerable change will be found in the literature of this edition. Some sketches have been omitted and others introduced, and important changes have been made upon others.
