Book Description

Excerpt from Lectures on Systematic Theology and Pulpit Eloquence The favourable reception of the Lectures on Ecclesiastical His tory, and the desire of many to have an Opportunity of perusing Dr. Campbell's prelections on the other branches of his theological courses, have led to the publication of the following work. The Lectures on Ecclesiastical History the author had prepared for the press, having carefully transcribed and corrected them. The pre lections now published were composed for the benefit of the stu dents of divinity in Marischal College, without any view to publica tion. They were first delivered in the years 1772 and 1773, and the author continued, during his professorship, to read them to the students, as they had been at first composed. Indeed, they were written so closely as to admit very little addition or alteration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
