Excerpt from The Creed in Scotland: An Exposition of the Apostles' Creed; With Extracts From Archbishop Hamilton's Catechism of 1552, John Calvin's Catechism of 1556, and a Catena of Ancient Latin and Other Hymns For upwards of twelve years I have had this book in hand. My attention was first specially drawn to the subject from hearing the Apostles' Creed recited every Sunday in Geneva, where I had occasion to be for months during several summers between 1870 and 1880. Both earlier and later, during holi days spent in France and Germany, when I regularly attended the Roman service, partly studying Church architecture and wishing also to judge directly for myself the usages and service of the Church of my forefathers in Scotland, I was struck among other things with the daily use of the Creed. The same feature again impressed me as often as I had opportunity to attend the service of the English Church in similar visits to England and Ireland.
