The mother's catechism, doctrinal and historical : Designed for the school and family, and enlarged for the benefit of young communicants, by the addition of a great many questions of the utmost importance in faith and practice. The answers, for most part, expressed in the language of the Holy Scriptures, or in terms used in the confession and catechisms of the Church of Scotland. The whole intended as a brief explication of the assembly's shorter catechism, and a summary of the Christian religion. By James Oliphant, A.M. Translated from Kilmarnock to Dumbarton.
