Alexander Shields or Sheilds (January 1660 – 1700) was a Scottish nonconformist minister, activist, and author. The son of James Shields or Sheilds, he was born at Haughhead, parish of Earlston, Berwickshire, about 1660. He entered at Edinburgh University at an early age, and graduated M.A. on 7 April 1675, writing his surname "Sheils". He later wrote it "Sheilds"; it is often printed "Shields". He began the study of divinity under Lawrence Charteris, but his opposition to prelacy led him, with others, to migrate in 1679 to Holland. He studied theology at the University of Utrecht, entering in 1680 as "Sheill". [more]

And now, how can I suitably apologize for having inflicted another book on the reading public? I would not attempt it but that it is the custom among authors. And, come to think of it, I guess I won't attempt it anyway. I will merely say, by way of excuse, that my former literary efforts, especially my "Rustlings in the Rockies," have brought me in sundry dollars, in good and lawful money, which I have found very useful things to have about the house. If this volume shall meet with an equally kind reception at the hands of book buyers, I shall feel that, after all, I am not to blame for having written it. [more]
