A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Circumstances which are well known to the Synod have led the Author to write the History of the Relief Church. He had neither vanity nor leisure to have devoted himself to a thorough study of its records, had not the nearness of his residence to the legal agents who conducted the Campbelton case detailecl at the close of the volume brought him under the necessity of examining facts and documents, so as to be able, when asked, to give an answer on the spot to the false allegations which were made, and also to state the truth to those who were employed by the congregation, in conducting the process. It would have been a tedious matter to have gone to Kintyre for information upon every litigated point. As the action before the civil courts was an attempt to strip the Campbelton Church of its property, on the ground of a departure from Old Relief Principles, it was necessary that the rise of the Denomination and the opinions of its early fathers should be studied, and investigated with considerable care. The first Minute Book of the Body, being either lost, or at least not known to be in existence, it was only in pamphlets, fugitive pieces, or in the works of hostile authors, that the principles of the Relief Church could be found, and from thence they were laboriously dug. At the successful termination of the process in 1839, several members of Synod urged the propriety of throwing into the form of a History, the facts which had been so thoroughly sifted by counsel at the bar of the Court of Session.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
