<p>MacDonald received his M.A. (and honorary LL.D.) from King&#8217;s College, Aberdeen. He briefly studied for the Congregational Ministry at Highbury College, London, then became pastor of the Congregational Church at Arundel, Sussex (1850-1853). He afterwards preached for a short time to a small company at Manchester and Bolton. Relinquishing the ministry, he became a lecturer on English literature at King&#8217;s College, London, and ultimately gave himself up entirely to literary pursuits. His works include:</p>
