| Summary |
"Leading Articles on Various Subjects" by Hugh Miller is a collection of essays exploring a range of topics, likely written in the mid-19th century. The book reflects Miller's intellectual contributions and opinions on significant societal issues of his time, notably the educational reforms in Scotland. Through these articles, the collection aims to provide insights into matters concerning education, social history, and more, showcasing the author's eloquence and breadth of knowledge. The opening of the work contains a preface written by John Davidson, who edited the collection and outlines the rationale behind the selection of articles. Davidson expresses the intent to showcase Miller's mature opinions on important subjects, emphasizing their diversity in scope and coherence in style. The beginning also reveals a focus on the educational question, discussing the necessity for the Free Church to effectively engage with national education issues, particularly in light of societal changes and the church's internal conflicts over strategies for reform. Miller's writings appear to engage in a broader discourse on the responsibilities of education as a public good and its implications for the moral and intellectual uplift of society.
