Alexander Haldane
728 pages
Written by one of the Anglican evangelical leaders of the last century, this volume tells the remarkable story of the author's father, James Haldane and uncle, Robert Haldane. Members of the Scottish aristocracy, James was a captain with the East India Company and Robert the owner of Gleneagles and other estates in Perthshire when they were converted in the last decade of the 18th century. Thereafter the two brothers became identified for the next fifty years with many of the foremost evangelical enterprises. These pages open up a little-known but important era and introduce the reader to many of the foremost Christian leaders of the early 19th Century.
