Of these the most extensively used seems to have been Dr. Smith’s, which ran through no less than thirty or thirty-five editions in half a century. Next to his, in popular esteem, came Macfarlane’s, represented by twenty. Ross’s and the General Assembly’s have also had a wide vogue, especially in more recent times. Besides the Shorter Catechism and Psalter, the _Confession of Faith_ has been printed in Gaelic eleven times, and _The Book of Common Prayer_ eight times, and Prayers from it once. Of English religious writers who have captivated the Highland emotions, Bunyan takes first place with his _Pilgrim’s Progress_, eleven editions; _Death of Mr. Badman_, one edition; _The Barren Fig-tree_, one; _The World to Come_, seven; _Visions of Heaven and Hell_, four; _Heavenly Footman_, three; _Water of Life_, five; _Holy War_, two; _Come and Welcome_, four; _Grace Abounding_, three. Then Baxter’s _Call to the Unconverted_ went through nine editions, and his _Saints’ Rest_, seven. Alleine, Boston, Doddridge, Dyer, Jonathan Edwards were also prime favourites, whose works were represented by many editions, especially _The Sinner’s Alarm_, _The Fourfold State_, _The Rise and Progress of Religion in the Soul_, _Christ’s Famous Titles_, and _Doomed Sinners_. Though the Gaelic-reading Highlanders had apparently little appetite for general English literature in their own tongue outside works of religion, they had a surprising avidity for hymns, elegies, and sermons, for books on the Church, Christian doctrine, Baptism and the Sacraments. And we meet with such varied titles as _Voluntaryism Indefensible_, _Christ is All_, _Apples of Gold_, _Village Sermons_, _Letters to Sinners_, _The Unspeakable Gift_, _Fame of the Branch_, _The Rose of Sharon_, _Call to Awaken_, _Salvation by Grace_, _Sacramental Exercises_, _The Believer’s Hope_, _A Parting Exhortation_, _Blair’s Sermons_, _Token for Mourners_, _On the Guidance of the Holy Spirit_, _Short History of the Baptists_, _Lessons on the Sabbath_, _The Declaratory Act_, _A Word of Warning to the People_, _Assurance of Salvation_. Topics of this kind abound. They formed the favourite pabulum of the more pious of our countrymen, and to this day some of these or similar theological productions may be found in almost every Gaelic household of the North and West Highlands.
