Robert J. Breckinridge: Presbyterian minister, politician, author, abolitionist, and champion of education. Known as the "father of the Kentucky public school system" for increasing the number of children in school ten-fold during his tenure as superintendent of public education, and for his staunch support for the Union and President Lincoln during the Civil War (unpopular in his native Kentucky), Breckinridge was a man who blazed his own trail despite the difficult obstacles that stood in his way.
The second volume of Robert J. Breckinridge's two-volume travel memoir Memoranda of Foreign Travel that documents his pilgrimage through Western Europe during the years 1836–1837.
Memoranda of Foreign Travel, vol. 2 contains Breckinridge's rich prose and fiery passion. With the Logos Bible Software edition all Scripture passages in Memoranda of Foreign Travel, vol. 2 are tagged and appear on mouse-over.

Breckinridge has presented the ancient truths of salvation with a freshness, an unction, and a power which vindicate to them the real character of a Gospel.
