Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Voice From the Desert, or the Church in the Wilderness: In Two Parts With regard to the Second Part of the work, he has gathered a number of fresh traditions, and brought together a few others which he had contributed to various periodicals, and regarding some of which he has received additional information. He trusts that this new embodiment of traditions will be found by its readers In no respect inferior in interest to those for merly published. It is the last work of the kind, probably, that can now be collected, as the traditionary field in the south and west of Scotland is now nearly exhausted. He has entitled the volume, A Voice from the Desert;-and it is emphatically so, as the most part of the Discourses, from which the extracts have been made, were preached in the remote moorlands and deso late places. They were like the voice of one crying in the Wilderness and the cry has been echoed down to our times. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
