Project Gutenberg 2012-06-23 Public domain in the USA. 377 Blaikie, William Garden 1820 1899 Blaikie, W. G. (William Garden) Brown, Joseph Thomas Chalmers Famous Scots Series, 9 Produced by Al Haines "Thomas Chalmers" by William Garden Blaikie is a biographical account written in the late 19th century. This work is part of the Famous Scots Series, providing a detailed examination of the life of Thomas Chalmers, a distinguished minister and theologian known for his influential ideas on social welfare and education. Blaikie’s focus is likely to highlight the key events and character traits of Chalmers, illustrating his impact on society during his time. The opening of the biography introduces Thomas Chalmers, detailing his early life and education from his birth in 1780 in Anstruther. It captures his childhood within a large family, the influences of his devout parents, and his early indifference towards their religious beliefs. As a schoolboy, he is portrayed as lively and generous yet initially disinterested in serious studies, particularly theology. However, upon entering university, Chalmers gradually shifts his focus to mathematics, while later convictions on faith are sparked by personal challenges and family losses. This early segment sets the stage for understanding the transformative experiences that shaped Chalmers into a prominent figure known for his contributions to both the church and social reforms.
