Description:Excerpt from The Lives of Robert Mary Moffat: With Portrait and Illustrations In issuing a Popular Edition of this work, the Editor repeats his thanks for the willing help rendered to him in the compiling of the First Edition by many friends, including the Directors of the London Missionary Society. Still more, old friends, whose confidence in committing to him the family correspondence of long years between their parents and his, furnished him with much that has proved of great interest. Besides these, he thanks the friends of later years, whose reminiscences are the more valuable as letters of that period became less copious. It was not till most of these pages were in print that the Editor had the opportunity of visiting Ormiston, his father's native village, on the occasion of the unveiling of a monument to his memory, of which an illustration will be found in this work. The monument owes its existence to the zeal of a few friends in Edinburgh. They found an unwearied secretary in Mr. Thomas Fairgrieve, to whose hearty exertions much is due. The Editor is thankful that Mr. Stevenson has been successful in producing one of the best portraits in existence of Robert Moffat, in so permanent a form as that of the bronze medallion which forms the chief feature of the memorial at Ormiston. Round that quiet nook in East Lothian cluster many associations. Close by is the Hall, with its great yew-tree, one of the finest in Scotland, so closely bound up with the memory of John Knox and of Wishart; and from the old Hall - part of which still stands - Wishart was taken by night, to be carried away to his martyrdom.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
