Excerpt from The Funeral Sermons: Orations, Epitaphs, and Other Pieces on the Death of the Right Rev. Patrick Forbes, Bishop of Aberdeen, From the Original Edition of 1635, With Biographical Memoir and Notes, on Charles Farquhar Shand, Esq. Few such literary Monuments have been raised to the memory of distinguished individuals as the "Funerals" of Bishop Patrick Forbes - the Collection of Funeral Sermons, Orations, Epitaphs, &c., on the death of that Prelate, who filled the See of Aberdeen from A.D. 1618 to A.D. 1635. In so numerous a Collection the pieces are, as may readily be supposed, of very unequal merit, - but among the productions of many of the most learned men of the time in Scotland, contributions will be found from the whole of the celebrated "Aberdeen Doctors, " who, by the acknowledgment of all parties, occupied a distinguished position for learning, character, and ability, in the deeply interesting discussions preceding the breaking out of the Civil War in the Seventeenth Century. The Documents connected with the Election and Induction of a Bishop to a Scottish See in the earlier part of that century, will possess a value in the eyes of the Ecclesiastical Antiquary.
