PREFACE.

The sources from which the following narrative has been derived are (1)the splendidly edited and complete edition of Knox's Works in sixvolumes, by Dr. David Laing; (2) the Memoir of the Reformer, by Dr.Thomas McCrie, forming the first volume of the collected works of thateminent theologian; (3) the monograph by the late Professor Lorimer,D.D., entitled "John Knox and the Church of England"; and (4) theHistories of the Period, more especially that of Scotland, by John HillBurton, vols. iii. and iv., and that of England, by J. A. Froude, vols.v. and vi. Some assistance also has been derived from "The ScottishReformation," by Professor Lorimer; and the two sketches by Carlyle,the one in his "Heroes and Hero Worship," and the other in his essay onthe Portraits{vi}of John Knox, have been both helpful and suggestive.Quotations have been generally indicated, but this acknowledgment mustcover any accidental omission to give to each author his due; and forthe rest the reader may be assured that while no material fact has beenomitted, nothing has been recorded for which ample authority could notbe given. The figure has been felt to be too large for the canvas towhich we have been restricted, but we have sought to reproduce, asfaithfully as possible the man as he was, and if we may succeed inremoving any of the unreasonable prejudice, with which many stillregard the Scottish Reformer, the story of his life will not be retoldby us in vain.
