Excerpt from Northumberland: Its History, Its Features, and Its People This volume was originally prepared as a popular Lecture, and was delivered before the Tyneside Geographical and Carlisle Scientific Societies. Being a native of Otterburn, where his father originated the Presbyterian Church, and was its minister for a period of twenty-eight years, and succeeding him in the ministry there, the Author has naturally been deeply interested in his native county, an interest which has not diminished by his removal to a neighbouring one.
