Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of St. Andrews, Episcopal, Monastic, Academic, and Civil, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprising the Principal Part of the Ecclesiastical History of Scotland, From the Earliest Age Till the Present Time Some account Of the ancient Metropolitan See Of St Andrews, - once the Canterbury Of Scotland - the seat Of its Oldest University - the nursery Of the Reforma tion - and the scene Of many memorable occurrences, may be thought deserving Of attention in this age Of general inquiry. By nothing was St Andrews SO much distinguished, from the ninth to the seventeenth century, as by its long line Of Bishops and Archbishops, among whom the sons and grandsons of our Scottish kings did not disdain to rank themselves. TO an historical and biographical account Of these Prelates, I have devoted a large, and I hope not an uninteresting, portion Of this work; which will be found to include, at the same time, the principal events in the ecclesiastical annals Of our country.
