Eminent Early Life of a Scottish Cleric Recalls Education
The account traces a cleric’s youth from a Channelkirk visit and a moment of call when Rev Mr Scott noted unusual promise. It details his Edinburgh studies from 1762 to 1772, nightly scholarly routines, teaching others, and a bold anonymous note to a professor. It covers licensing in 1771 and early ministry at Stainton and Ravenstonedale, beginning May 28.
