  • Bob Halliday, (Reiff
    THE MINISTRY OF ROBERT LEIGHTON, AN APPROACH TO CHRISTIAN UNITY BOB HALLIDAY, (REIFF Robert Leighton was a minister in the Scottish church who began his ministry as a Covenanter and ended it as the Archbishop of Glasgow in the Episcopal Church of the Restoration. His character and worth have been assessed from very different points of view. Butler cites Professor Flint who wrote of Leighton, 'A purer, humbler, holier spirit never tabernacled in Scottish clay.' 1 Hewison described him as, 'a miserable invertebrate, whom ill health, largely due to his habits, kept shivering on the boundary line between what he styled as "this weary, weary, wretched life" and death, a mere reed piping with every wind over the bog he could not purify' .2 Cowan, in more moderate terms, speaks of his capacity for survival and self advancement and concludes, 'Whether his lack of worldliness to which many contemporaries attest can be deemed a sufficient excuse for his apparent lack of principle, must remain doubtful. ' 3 It is more than probable that Leighton was in fact a sincere minister of the gospel with a great burden for the healing of a torn and divided church in seventeenth-century Scotland. He was compelled, however, to exercise his ministry under enormous political pressure, and to function in any sense at all as a spiritual leader he had to try to walk a very fine line, not always successfully, between flexibility and submission. He had to respond to the claims of the gospel but he had to work out that response within limits set by his political masters.

  • 'Robert 1Eigbton, Tlrcbbisbop Anb Saint. by the REV
    1 r2 ROBERT LEIGHTON, ARCHBISHOP AND SAINT but our spiritual face, the face of our new birth (-7raA.t,y,yevecr£a), in which our freedom consists, and which shall ever be patiently uplifted to the parousia of the Lord (v. 7). 'Robert 1eigbton, tlrcbbisbop anb Saint. BY THE REV. H. A. WILSON, Vicar of St. Peter's, Norbiton. HE seventeenth century produced few characters so attrac­ T tive as that of Robert Leighton, Archbishop of Glasgow, and still fewer whose lives are so instructive. In days when departure from the beaten track was looked upon with sus­ picion, and originality was dangerous to life itself, this great man never sacrificed his right to fotm his own conclusions, and to claim perfect freedom in using all the data at hand to form those conclusions. Robert Leighton was born in 161 I, in the city of Edinburgh. There is some uncertainty about both these statements, but the bulk of evidence points this· way. He came from an old and much respected Scotch family. His father was Dr. Alexander Leighton, a Presbyterian minister of most unhappy celebrity. Of a naturally sour disposition, Alexander Leighton was unable to prevent his native bitterness from asserting itself in his religion. In Charles I .'s reign he published a scurrilous and inflammatory work entitled " Zion's Plea against Prelacy." For this he was apprehended and sentenced by the Star Chamber to be whipped and pilloried, and to have his ears cropped, his nose slit, and his cheek~ branded. This abominable sentence was duly carried out. One does not expect sweet fruit from the sour stock, but, nevertheless, the son of Alexander Leighton was a man of irresistibly attractive character, and of a peculiarly sweet and winning nature.

  • Other Clerical Book Collectors in Restoration Scotland
    Chapter 8 Other Clerical Book Collectors in Restoration Scotland Surviving records of what Scottish ministers owned in the way of books at this time vary enormously. An investigation into the probate values of books in the testaments of fifty-two Scottish clerics, 1660–1689, recorded in the Edinburgh Commissary Court, has shown that twenty-five (48%) make no mention of books as assets for valuation purposes, six (11.5%) mention books but value them together with other moveable goods, another six value the deceased’s books separately and under £100, and fifteen (28.85%) value books at £100 or over. Comparing this data against an estimate of the probate value of an aver- age book, achieved through an analysis of occasions where the records of ac- tual numbers of books left as well as their probate value have survived, sug- gests that a value of £100 for books indicates a collection of around sixty volumes. This leads to the conclusion that most clerical libraries were very small. Only nine out of the sample owned around or over one hundred vol- umes, but, of these, six probably had around or over 200 volumes and four possessed over 300, but of these last only one had over 400 volumes: Andrew Cant (d.1685), Principal of Edinburgh University from 1675 and at the same time minister of St Giles Church, second charge, left books valued for probate at 5,000 merks (£3333 6s. 8d.), which might have represented some 2,000 vol- umes, thus equalling or exceeding Nairn’s holdings. Of course, many testa- ments have not survived, including Nairn’s, and on other occasions where tes- taments ignore books, the ministers concerned are known, from other evidence, to have had libraries: William Annand, discussed below, is one such case.

  • Sir Archibald Stevenson, His Ancestry, and the Riot in the College of Physicians at Edinburgh
    SIR ARCHIBALD STEVENSON, HIS ANCESTRY, AND THE RIOT IN THE COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS AT EDINBURGH by W. B. HOWIE THi Royal College of Physicians in Edinburgh was founded in 1681. At the time of its foundation there were twenty-one founder fellows. Among the original fellows were Robert Sibbald, already a distinguished physician and man of science; Thomas Burnet of Crimond, Physician to the King in Scotland and author of the popular Thesaurus Medicinae Practicae;11 Andrew Balfour who, with Sibbald, had founded the Physic Garden in Holyrood Abbey and was himself a botanist of distinction;2 James Halket, four years later to become one of the first professors of medicine in the University of Edinburgh;3 and Archibald Pitcairn, not only a future professor of medicine in Edinburgh, but in Leyden also. It might have been expected that the first President of the College would have been chosen from among this distinguished group, but when the fellows of the College met for the first time the physician elected to fill the office of President was none of these, but Dr. Archibald Stevenson. The choice of Dr. Stevenson as President would appear to have been quite a determined one, and no empty honour, for he was re-elected President in subsequent years, and remained in office until the election of 4 December 1684 when he was succeeded by Sir Robert Sibbald.4 To succeeding generations Stevenson is rather a shadowy figure. Unlike Sibbald, Pitcairn, or Burnet, he left no published works behind him upon which his theoretical beliefs can be judged, and nothing is known of his practical skills.

  • Clare Leighton's Wood Engravings of English
    CLARE LEIGHTON’S WOOD ENGRAVINGS OF ENGLISH COUNTRY LIFE BETWEEN THE WARS Caroline Mesrobian Hickman A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Art. Chapel Hill 2011 Approved by: Dr. Arthur Marks Dr. Ross Barrett Dr. John Bowles Dr. Timothy Riggs Dr. Dorothy Verkerk © 2011 Caroline Mesrobian Hickman ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT CAROLINE MESROBIAN HICKMAN: Clare Leighton’s Wood Engravings of English Country Life between the Wars (Under the direction of Arthur Marks) Clare Leighton’s wood engravings of interwar English country life portray a rural culture barely touched by modernity, a domesticated landscape in which robust farm workers maintain a close relationship with the soil and its associated values of simplicity, stability, and diligence. Void of references to the hardships of rural life during a period of sustained agricultural depression and unprecedented rural commodification, the prints speak to a sense of order, permanence, peace, and purpose. At once imaginative and scrupulously accurate depictions of rural labor and craft, they nourish nostalgia and the preservationist impulse to record dying traditions. This study seeks to contextualize the images in their original purpose as book illustrations. A close reading of the books for which Leighton created the engravings shows that the text serves to idealize country life while also speaking to the disorders and anxieties of the turbulent ’30s. The Farmer’s Year (1933), Four Hedges (1935), and Country Matters (1937), mediate her various publishers’ senses of the market and differing viewpoints with her personal and wider concerns.
