Archibald Maclaine

He was educated at Glasgow University, where he studied under Francis Hutcheson for the Presbyterian ministry.

Ill-health, and the disturbances of the fall of the Dutch Republic after the Flanders campaign, led him to resign his charge in 1796.

[5] Maclaine published in 1765, in 2 vols., a translation from Latin, with notes, of Johann Lorenz Mosheim's Ecclesiastical History.

[1] This major work met with the approval of John Wesley, who used it in his abridgement of Mosheim, A Concise Ecclesiastical History (1781).

[6] Maclaine also translated from the French Jean Jacob Vernet's Dialogues on some Important Subjects, 1753.
