Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Divinity Principals in the University of Glasgow: 1545-1654
This volume is the first instalment of an attempt to write the lives of the Professors of Divinity in Glasgow University, from Melville to Hastie. The first six were principals of the University; after wards, the o?ices were practically though not formally separated, and a special Chair of Divinity alone was created. The author has thought fit to deal with the six Divinity Principals (as he ventures to style them) in a volume by themselves. Later he hopes to com plete his task by recording the careers of their successors, several of whom, like David Dickson, Robert Baillie, Gilbert Burnet, James Wodrow, John Simson, along with Leechman, Macgill, John Caird and others, were men of distinct eminence in ecclesi astical and theological circles.
