The following quote on J.A. Wylie is taken from a Publisher's Preface by MourneMissionary Press:

The Rev. James Aitken Wylie

was for many years a leading Protestant spokesman. Born inScotland in 1808, he was educated at Marischal College, Aberdeen and at St. Andrews; heentered the Original Seccession Divinity Hall, Edinburgh in 1827, and was ordained in 1831.Dr. Wylie became sub-editor of the Edinburgh Witness in 1846, and, after joining the FreeChurch of Scotland in 1852, edited the Free Church Record from 1852 until 1860. In 1860 hewas appointed Lecturer on Popery at the Protestant Institute, a position he held until the yearof his death. Aberdeen University awarded him the LL.D. in 1856.

"Dr. Wylie was a prolific writer on Protestant themes. In 1851 the Evangelical Alliance awardedhim first prize for his writing

The Papacy

, which he submitted as his entry for a competition forthe best essay on Popery.

"The writing for which Wylie is best known is his History of Protestantism which extends tonearly 2,000 pages and was first published in 1878."
