History
A brief history
The Wodrow Society was founded at Edinburgh in May 1841 to publish the works of the fathers and early writers of the Reformed Church of Scotland, and took its name from Robert Wodrow, the parish minister who became the historian of the Covenanters.1 Over roughly a decade it issued some eleven works, edited by scholars of the standing of David Laing, Robert Pitcairn and Thomas M'Crie the younger — among them David Calderwood's eight-volume History of the Kirk of Scotland (1842-49), the autobiography of James Melville, and John Row's history of the Kirk.1 Its most enduring product is Laing's six-volume edition of The Works of John Knox, still the standard collected Knox and the text behind the Banner of Truth reprint catalogued separately.2 The Society stopped publishing in 1851.1
