Disruption Worthies: A Memorial Of 1843 Containing Nearly 50 Authentic Portraits
Published by A. Fullarton & Co: Edinburgh and London c1893
Contains a picture supplement of the Jubilee Number of the Free Church of Scotland Monthly dated July 1893
INCLUDES VOLUMES 1 & 2 Only (of a 4vol set)
"Disruption Worthies: A Memorial of 1843 was published by A. Fullarton & Co. of Edinburgh and London circa 1893 to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the Disruption of the Church of Scotland, one of the most defining religious movements in Scottish history. Issued in four volumes, this set includes Volumes I and II only, each containing finely engraved portraits and biographical sketches of leading figures who took part in the 1843 schism, when ministers and congregations broke away to form the Free Church of Scotland in defense of spiritual independence. The publication features nearly fifty authentic portraits, each accompanied by detailed accounts of the lives, convictions, and sacrifices of these prominent ministers and laymen who shaped the Free Church's foundation and character.
Produced to coincide with the Jubilee commemorations, this edition includes the special picture supplement from the Free Church of Scotland Monthly (July 1893), which further enriches its visual and historical content. The text reflects both reverence and scholarly intent, portraying the Disruption not merely as a religious division but as a moral and national awakening rooted in conscience and principle. The engraved portraits—beautifully executed in the Fullarton tradition—capture the gravitas and individuality of these nineteenth-century ecclesiastical leaders.
Together, the volumes stand as a tribute to Scottish faith, identity, and perseverance, preserving for posterity the memory of those who championed freedom of worship and self-governance. This partial set offers both aesthetic and historical significance and would appeal to collectors of Scottish ecclesiastical history, genealogists with Free Church connections, and those interested in Victorian religious publishing and portraiture."
