Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Brown of Haddington The eighteenth century witnessed struggles in Church and State that were of immense import. The shattering commotions of the seventeenth century, with its civil wars and sanguinary persecutions, were past. Men were weary of such methods of unifying a nation. Liberty had at last come to its own. But power strangely fascinates, and lures back the control it once possessed. George III was bent on securing the old supremacy of the crown which the Revolution had largely shorn away and many were prepared to abet him. Happily his schemes were frustrated, and a constitutional monarchy confirmed. In the Church there were like movements to assert its authority and clothe its leaders with unlimited powers. Their tendency was to strangle the spiritual life of the people. But the attempts were vigorously opposed, and liberty claimed for full expression of conviction and aspiration. The Wesleys in England refused to submit to the repressive policy of the Church established, and looked out on the world as their parish. The Erskines in Scotland declined to be silenced by the stern decrees of the Kirk, backed though they were by military force. The former went forth on their own way, and organised new methods of life and polity; the latter seceded, but followed the same lines of worship and church government. They were ever longing for the day when the Church of their fathers would reform itself, and get rid of ministerial election by patronage, of a toleration of evils that were sapping its strength, and of an ill-concealed antipathy to evangelical doctrine. But both movements materially helped to keep the fires of the Gospel aglow in the land. The Church the Erskines founded rapidly grew in numbers and influence and the causes for which it stood have mainly been won. No better representative of its spirit and genius in the second generation could be found than John Brown of Haddington. His early struggles read like a romance. Happily his unique gifts were quickly recognised in the new communion. While no University ranked him among its students, or recognised his services to religious literature, except a rising one in the new Republic across the seas toward the end of his days, he trod the path of a scholar, and in the later years placed the fruits of his learning before the world. While Pastor and Professor, he single-handed produced a Dictionary of the Bible that held its own for a hundred years; and a Commentary of the Scriptures, which he happily entitled A Self-interpreting Bible, on which Charles Simeon nourished his soul with great delight, and which is still a living book in America.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Brown: A Retrospect Nearly two thousand years ago, at the hour of noon, a motley throng of people might have been seen pouring forth from the gates of a far Eastern city and moving towards a hill called Calvary. Amidst soldiers and civilians, both friends and foes, the central figure is that of a man scarcely more than thirty years of age. He has all the attributes, in form and features, of true manliness. A disinterested judge has just declared that he finds nothing amiss in him but the rabble cry out, all the more, crucify him. While ardently loved by a devoted few in that tumultuous crowd, he is, to all the rest, an object of severest scorn, the butt of ribald jest. Wearing his crown of thorns, he is made to bear, till he faints un der his burden, the very instrument of his torture. His Roman executioners, giving to him the punishment accorded to thieves and robbers, have imposed upon him the most ignominious fate possible, - death upon the cross. A century before, Cicero had said It is an outrage to bind a Roman citizen to scourge him is an atrocious crime to put him to death is almost parricide but to crucify him - what shall I call it?

This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Views and Meditations of John Brown I deem it unnecessary here to give an account of the life of John Brown. The world knows of his birth, early training, his occupation and the great events in which he took part. But of his ideas, there seems to be considerable differences of opinion; not, indeed, as to their purpose, but their sanity and practicability. After carefully studying his character as found in various records, I have imagined that the thoughts and feelings expressed in these verses were the views and meditations that engaged his life. I have, therefore, represented him on the four great occasions of his career. First, as leader of the anti-slavery men in their fight with the pro-slavery men in Kansas; secondly, when after the Kansas struggles he met his men in Iowa, and there deter mined to attack Harpers Ferry; thirdly, the night of the attack, and fourthly, before he goes to the gal lows. As this is a work solely of the imagination, I' here quote, for the attention of those who may criti cise me, the words of Lord Macaulay when he was about to put forth a work of a similar nature The judgment passed both by the learned and by the unlearned on a work of the imagination will always depend much moref'o'n the general character and spirit of such a work than on minute details.
