Talk:Thomas Chalmers

[Untitled]

Couple of points could use clarification:

• "in seven years upwards of 300,000 had been contributed" -- I assume that's £300,000, but I'm not sure how to confirm.
• if would be nice to link "the Disruption" in "In 1841 the movement which ended in the Disruption was rapidly culminating". I assume this is the disruption of the Church of Scotland in 1843, which a google search for "the Disruption" "Church of Scotland" finds many hits for (but which Wilipedia has as yet no article for).
• The quotation marks in "I have no veneration... but I have the utmost veneration for it qua an instrument of Christian good" were missing. I've guessed where they belong, but this should be verified.

I cahnged Chalmers date of Licensure from 1790 to 1799 based on this page: http://www.newble.co.uk/chalmers/. However brilliant Mr. Chalmers may have been, I assume that he would not have been licensed to preach at the age of ten. Chris Troutman 14:14, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

• A real rewrite is in order here. Especially his prominence as an early economist! He was no minor economist either. Karl Marx quoted from his book "On Political Economy.." Capital, Volume III,Chapter XXVII, p. 441 I think that should be worked in to the article!--Oracleofottawa (talk) 02:07, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
