000785Soft cover. Good. Duneidin: Clodh-Bhuailte le Iain Collie 1826 that is Edinburgh Ian Collie 1826. The title translates as "The Second Book for Gaelic Schools Maintained by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland". 24mo 980 x 138mm pp72 including Introduction signed I M'D; sewn into blue sugar-paper covered thin card boards the back one creased; binding a little scuffed and worn internally clean and firm although clearly used. . . . Although churches are not part of the establishment in Scotland unlike in England the Church of Scotland is considered the national church of the country. It's presbyterian in form governed by the individual local congregations through Kirk Sessions of Elders in conjunction with the annual General Assembly and dates in form and approach largely from the Scottish Reformation of 1560 led primarily by John Knox and when the former Papal jurisdiction was repudiated by Parliament though not endorsed by the continuing Catholic Mary Queen of Scots. However its antecedents date much further back. Widened education of children and the public was a major aim of the reformers and schools began to be established funded by the Kirk by local councils and to some extent by parents where possible. Reform and extension of the then four universities also occurred these widening the curricula introducing specialist teaching and allowing the challenging of received wisdom bringing the teaching to the equal of anywhere in Europe at the time. . . . NOTE that as the book is very light in weight and small it will be sent post free on any order. <br/> <br/> paperback
