William M'Gavin

The Protestant, a Series of Essays on the Principal Points of Controversy between the Church of Rome and the Reformed. In Four Volumes (Bound in Two)

Glasgow , Khull, Blackie and Co et al , 1812 . Leather. A fascinating collection of opinion and debate between the Catholic and Protestant churches, at the time a controversial examination of the points of controversy that had existed for hundreds of years. Featuring frontispieces. Includes letters that originally appeared in the Glasgow Chronicle from May 23rd to July 18th, 1818. Publisher's catalogue to the rear of volume IV. Complete in four volumes. Volumes I and II bound into one, and III and IV bound into one. William M'Gavin (1773–1832) was a religious controversialist. M'Gavin had been brought up in the Anti-Burgher church and he adhered to the congregation of James Ramsay after moving to Glasgow. The two men were simultaneously drawn to Congregationalism and M'Gavin assisted Ramsay in the church they formed in 1802. He was ordained co-pastor in 1804 but withdrew in 1807, adhering instead to the congregation of Greville Ewing, though he continued as an itinerant preacher and became involved in the numerous benevolent and religious societies which were being established at that time. M'Gavin achieved notoriety in 1818 following an exchange of letters in the Glasgow Chronicle concerning the building of a new Roman Catholic chapel in Clyde Street, Glasgow. M'Gavin's letters were signed "A Protestant" and quickly gave rise to a weekly periodical, The Protestant, which, inter alia, repeated and embellished the charge that money for the new building was extorted from the Catholic poor. In 1821 an action for libel was brought by a priest, Andrew Scott (1772–1846). Damages of £100 and, more significantly, costs amounting to £1387 were awarded against M'Gavin, though £900 was raised by public subscription. M'Gavin engaged in further disputes with Robert Owen of New Lanark, and with William Cobbett concerning his History of the Protestant Reformation. He also became involved, albeit unwittingly, in the Apocrypha controversy. DNB. Rebound in half calf bindings with marbled boards, with two original spine labels. Externally excellent with just minor shelfwear only. Internally, firmly bound. Remarkably bright and clean for its age, with just the odd spot. Slight off-setting from the frontispieces to the title pages. Very Good Indeed . Ill.: None. Very Good Indeed .
