Excerpt from The Lights of the North: Illustrating the Rise and Progress of Christianity, in North-Eastern Scotland Roman, and Protestant - and to group them around local figures of pro-eminent brilliancy and usefulness. There is no book that I know of which sets forth what is here attempted; but is it not well that some one should under take the task? The field is so wide, and the details, with their local colouring, so multiplied that it will be strange if no errors have crept in; but I have done my best to insure accuracy, and, above all, to maintain fairness and catholicity. In the course of the narrative I acknow ledge my indebtedness to various authors; it would be too long a list to print were I to name all the books I have consulted, and the many tracts and pamphlets which have yielded me fugitive gleanings.
