During the whole time of his imprisonment his courage never failed, nor did his spirits suffer any depression. About this time a sermon of Dr. Downham, in defence of the church of England, was sent down to Scotland: Andrew Melville, having obtained a copy, hastily penned an answer or review of the sermon, which he forwarded to James Melville, at Newcastle, who taking a copy for himself sent on the manuscript to his friends in Scotland. Melville, almost despairing of being permitted to return to his own country, began to think seriously of getting leave to transport himself to America, and had actually entered into some negotiation with a view to such an emigration. To what part of America he thought of going, is not known; but the probability is, that his thoughts were turned to Virginia. What prevented him from carrying into effect this project, is uncertain. It is not probable that the court would have made any objection to a removal to so distant a part of the world. It is most likely that he changed his mind. During his confinement, his lonely hours were beguiled by the company of two of the junior members of his family, successively, whom he in structed; the one was the son of his nephew, James Melville--the other, the son of a deceased brother, who was a youth of an unsettled and romantic turn, but having gained a large share of his uncle's affections, he drew from him more money than consisted with the narrowness of his finances. But the chief amusement of Andrew Melville was writing Latin poetry, in which exercise he spent much of his time. He met with a serious pecuniary loss, by having his purse stolen, with all the money which James Melville had sent him to...

Book Description
Excerpt from The Life of Andrew Melville, the Scottish Reformer: Abridged for the Board, From McCrie's Life of Melville Andrew Melville was born near Montrose, in Scotland, on the first of August, 1545, and was the youngest of nine sons. His father, Richard Melville, was slain in battle when Andrew was only two years old; and his eldest brother Richard took charge of the family and faithfully performed the part of a parent to his brothers; and as the subject of this memoir appeared to have a feeble constitution, and a strong inclination to learning, his brother resolved to give him the best education he could. He was first placed in a grammar school, at Montrose, under the tuition of Thomas Anderson, a man of no great erudition, but one of the best teachers of his time. Here Andrew acquired the rudiments of Latin, in which language he became afterwards so great a proficient.
