“It cannot fail to be welcomed in its new form, for it is a most conscientious work in itself, and the publishers have done everything for it that paper and type and binding can do.”—_Expository Times._

“We have rarely had Church History presented to us in so attractive a manner.”—_The Modern Church._

It is a book that every one who is interested in the history of Christianity in his country should have.”—_The Scottish Pulpit._

“Many will be glad to have it in this form, and we can recommend it as suitable for a Christmas present or for a gift-book at any time.”—_Church of Scotland Mission Record._

“The history of the Church of Scotland is a deeply interesting one—we might almost say romantic. However it might be told, it would be sure to enlist the attention of readers; but when, in addition to that, we have the history presented by so able and interesting a writer as the Rev. Mr. Muir, we can confidently expect a wide circulation for this edition.”—_Scottish Church._
