Excerpt from Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae, Vol. 4: The Succession of Ministers in the Church of Scotland From the Reformation Editorial Committee have pleasure in issuing the Fourth Volume of the Fasti. More than half of their work has now been completed. But for unforeseen circumstances, progress would have been speedier. As it is, the unavoidable delay has borne good fruit otherwise, in enabling the Committee to cover a wider field of enquiry, and to expiscate a considerable number of points of biographical difficulty and obscurity. In the first of the Synods contained in Volume Four - that of Argyll - the difficulties have been unusually great. Few of the Separate Registers have been kept with regularity, the blanks in some of the Records extending over a long period of years. In order to supply information not found in these sources, access has been obtained to the Registers and Documents within H.M. General Register House, and to a variety of papers in the possession of private individuals. Many published volumes of Local and Family History have also yielded their quota, and the literature of the tombstones has again served its own useful purpose. Pains have been taken to verify the information given, but, as was said in a former Note, the Volumes - dealing with so vast a mass of names and dates - do not claim to be immaculate. The present Volume, it is hoped, is as free from errors as is possible. The Committee desire to express their thanks to the Clerks of the various Presbyteries, and to the Revs. James King Hewison, D. D., Rothesay; Alexander Matthew Wyllie, Auchtergaven; William Alexander Macfarlane, Dull; Peter Robert Landreth, Perth; and William Wilson, Trossachs; and to Captain Herbert Campbell, for much assistance in the preparation of the work. The Volume has been brought down to the eve of publication. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book assesses the everyday use of petitions in administrative and judicial settings and contrasts these with more assertive forms of political petitioning addressed to assemblies or rulers. A petition used to be a humble means of asking a favour, but in the early modern period, petitioning became more assertive and participative. This book shows how this contrasted to ordinary petitioning, often to the consternation of authorities. By evaluating petitioning practices in Scotland, England and Denmark, the book traces the boundaries between ordinary and adversarial petitioning and shows how non-elites could become involved in politics through petitioning. Also observed are the responses of authorities to participative petitions, including the suppression or forgetting of unwelcome petitions and consequent struggles to establish petitioning as a right rather than a privilege. Together the chapters in this book indicate the significance of collective petitioning in articulating early modern public opinion and shaping contemporary ideas about opinion at large. The chapters in this book were originally published in the journal Parliaments, Estates & Representation.
Excerpt from Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae, Vol. 5: The Succession of Ministers in the Church of Scotland From the Reformation; Synods of Fife, and of Angus and Mearns I desire to receive this sentence of the General Assembly of the Church of Scot land pronounced against me with real concern, and awful impressions of the divine conduct in it: but I rejoice that to me it is given on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake. It is said that G. Returned to Carnock late on the night of the Saturday of his deposition. His wife, not expecting his return, had gone to bed. When he knocked at the door for admittance, she rose, went to the window, and desired to know who was there. The deposed minister of Carnock, was the reply. On getting inside the house, he said, I am no longer minister of Carnock, and to that his wife answered, Well, if we must beg, I will carry the meal-poo The next day a vast crowd assembled at Carnock from all parts, but instead of preaching in the church, a service was held in the church yard, G.
