THE Volume now presented to the Club, embraces the concluding portion of the Recorded Proceedings of the General Assemblies of the Church of Scotland, held within the period contemplated in the present Work. Its delivery has been retarded by accidental circumstances, in themselves of little importance; but the delay has afforded an opportunity of rendering this compilation somewhat more accurate and complete.

The Index to the entire Work has been compiled by Mr DAVID MEEK, with that extreme accuracy and exact knowledge of the early history of the Scottish Church, for which he has been so long distinguished. It may be proper to mention, that the additions and corrections to the Index were chiefly owing to his great anxiety to render it more perfect, from new sources of information which became available after the sheets had been sent to press.
