Strathbogie again : a metrical resumé. Dedicated to the public in general.
[Scotland : s.n.,
1860?]
Anonymous: a satirical poem relating to events of the late 1850s and early 1860s (the preacher Brownlow North, recognised as an evangelist by the Free Church of Scotland in 1859, is referred to, as is another evangelical Hay Macdowall Grant of Arndilly) and to the religious revival taking place in North-East Scotland at the time, led by itinerant evangelists such as North and Grant. The author appears to be a follower of the "Old Church of the land" who is criticising the preachers and their missionary zeal. The title of the poem refers to the presbytery of Strathbogie, which in the late 1830s and early 1840s was the setting for the dispute over patronage leading to the formation of the Free Church of Scotland in 1843.
