It was the Reverend Professor Fergus Macartney who produced this chapter for the initial editions of this book, and who collaborated with RHA on the revision of the chapter for this edition. Sadly, Fergus died before this edition could be printed. The editors of the book join with the surviving author of this chapter in dedicating these pages to his eternal memory.
