Excerpt from Reminiscences, Vol. 2 of 2
Edward irving died thirty-two years ago (decem ber in the first months of our adventurous settlement here; the memory of him is still clear and vivid with me, in all points,-that of his first and only visit to us in this House, in this room, just before leaving for Glasgow (october1 which was the last we saw of him, is still as fresh as if it had been yesterday - and he has a solemn, massive, sad and even pitiable, though not much blamable, or in heart ever blamable, and to me always dear and most friendly aspect, in those vacant Kingdoms of the Past. He was scornfully forgotten at the time of his death; having indeed sunk a good while before out of the notice of the more intelligent classes. There has since been and now is, in the new theological generation, a kind of revival of him, on rather weak and questionable terms, sentimental mainly, and grounded on no really correct know ledge or insight; which, however, seems to bespeak.
