Description:Excerpt from Annals of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, From the Final Secession in 1739, to the Origin of the Relief in 1752: With an Appendix of Biographical Sketches, Illustrative Documents, and Notes The present volume is designed to be, for the period which it embraces, a Record of the transactions of the General Assembly of the Scottish Church, whether relating to Legislative Acts or Judicial Decisions; - inclusive also of whatever comes under the designation of "Miscellaneous Business," with the exception of matters of mere routine. The narrative of those affairs which may be considered as of general interest has, for the most part, been taken from the Reports in the Scots Magazine, which have been compared with the newspapers of the day, as well as with the original records of the Church. As for the many cases of less public importance, of which these records furnish the only extant account, the Compiler had the alternative of either reporting them in the language of the abridgment of the "Actings and Proceedings of the General Assembly," given annually at the end of the Printed Acts, or of making a fresh abstract of them from the Manuscript Registers. He has preferred the former method, for the obvious reason, that as the summary in question was drawn up by a Committee of each successive Assembly, and published under their sanction, it possesses an authority, in the way of reference, which would attach to no other abstract. It has, however, been carefully collated with the unprinted record; and when additional information has been obtained thence, or from other sources, it will be found either enclosed within brackets, or embodied in the Notes at the foot of the page, or in the Appendix.
