Excerpt from Genealogical Memoirs of John Knox and of the Family of KnoxAll who love liberty and value Protestantism venerate the character of John Knox no British Reformer is more entitled to the designation of illustrious. By three centuries he anticipated that parochial system of education which has lately become the law of England; by nearly half that period he set forth those 'principles of civil and religious liberty which culminated in a system of constitutional government. To him Englishmen are indebted for the Protestant character of their Book of Common Prayer; Scotsmen for a Reforma tion so thorough as permanently to resist the encroachments of an ever aggressive sacerdotalism.Knox belonged to 'a House ancient and respectable; but those bearing his name derive their chiefest lustre from being connected with a race of which he was a member. The family annals presented in these pages reveal not a few of the members exhibiting vast intellectual capacity and moral worth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
