About the author
Born in Moulin, Perthshire, on September 25, 1794, Alexander Stewart was educated at the University of Glasgow and later became minister of the East Church in Cromarty. He is often remembered as “Stewart of Cromarty,” a name that reflects how closely his life and reputation were tied to that parish.
Stewart was known in his own time as a striking and memorable preacher. After the Disruption of 1843, he joined the Free Church of Scotland and continued his ministry there during the last years of his life.
He died on November 5, 1847. His sermons and later memoirs helped preserve his reputation, and he remains of interest to readers looking into nineteenth-century Scottish preaching and church history.
