Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life and Times of Patrick Torry, D.D: Bishop of Saint Andrew's, Dunkeld, and Dunblane, With an Appendix on the Scottish Liturgy
The proofs of the pages which relate the rise and pro gress of that dispute were submitted to the present Bishop of S. Andrew's, in the hope that I might be able so to state the case as to obtain the concurrence or acquiescence of those who were opposed to Bishop Torry's Prayer Book. His Lordship was so kind as to favour me with an interview on the subject; and several not unimportant alterations were made at his suggestion. But, to my extreme regret, I failed to obtain his agreement to that which I felt bound still to leave. I then endeavoured to induce him to state his own views as an appendix to that chapter, .and offered to print it without note or observation; this offer, however, his Lordship (whose great kindness I wish particularly to acknowledge) did not think it right to accept. Much as I was grieved at. The disappoint ment of my hopes, I still felt bound to state what appeared, and does appear, to me to be the truth; and that more especially in defence of one who is now beyond the reach of earthly praise or blame.
