"A state-of-the-art review of Presbyterianism in the Maritimes. This is an important collection for all scholars of Maritime culture, especially in a period when the impact of religion is again being recognized as a formative factor in people's loyalties and activities." Brian Fraser, professor of church history, Vancouver School of Theology. "An accessible and stimulating examination of the role of Presbyterianism in the development of the Maritime provinces. It is a valuable reference work that effectively describes the principal features and concerns of the evolving Presbyterian community and puts the legacy of MacGregor, McCulloch, Patterson, Dawson, Grant, Falconer, and others in perspective." Goldwin French, professor emeritus, Victoria University, Toronto.
