[1] He was then sent with his elder brother James in 1814 for a year to a private school at Winteringham in Lincolnshire, run by Lorenzo Grainger who was a curate there and an evangelical.
[9] Haldane is best remembered as the chief proprietor of The Record, the campaigning evangelical newspaper he helped found in 1828.
The line taken was a strident Calvinistic evangelicalism: Tory, anti-Catholic, opposed to Broad Church thinking and the left.
[12] The term "Recordite" itself was brought to wide attention by William John Conybeare in the Edinburgh Review for October 1853, who derided the position attached to it as a dogmatisation and rigidification of evangelical practices.
Haldane's Record returned the compliment the following month, describing Conybeare as "a brummagem Sydney Smith."
Haldane was a personal friend and close adviser of the social reformer Lord Ashley, in later life 7th Earl of Shaftesbury.
