Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of the Right Rev. John Sage, a Bishop of the Church in Scotland, Vol. 1: With Memoir and Notes
Evangelical Truth with Apostolic Order. But, alas' this cannot be. It has been remarked with regret by a previous biographer of Bishop Sage, that he could not get such information as was necessary to enable him to publish a full account of his life and that he was limited to the scanty materials with which his own memory supplied him, and which he could gather from other personal friends of the Bishop. If one, then, who himself enjoyed the privilege of our authors friendship, and wrote only three years after his death, was so straitened for information concerning him, the reader must not be disappointed that the present Editor, after most diligent search in every quarter where informa tion was likely to be obtained, has not been able to collect many facts which throw additional light upon the earlier years of the future Prelate, or introduce us to a better acquaintance, than that which we now possess, with his habits and pur suits at a more mature age. But out of such materials as are within his reach, the Editor proceeds to supply the Reader with a new biographical memoir of the illustrious Divine whose writings are now presented again to the world.
