Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Meetings. The Presbyteries of the Church, which at present are eighty-four in number, meet, in general, once a-month, for the transaction of ordinary business. In outlying districts, such as Orkney and Shetland, the meetings are at more distant intervals. Moderator. The Moderator must be one of the ministers, and the appointment is made by the Presbytery, in general at the first meeting after the meeting of the provincial Synod. The selection is usually regulated by the order of dates of ordination, so that the several ministerial members occupy the chair in succession. When the Moderator for the time happens to be absent, his place is taken by his predecessor in office, and, failing him, by the oldest minister. Okdinary Business. The business of a Presbytery is of a twofold nature--ecclesiastical and civil. Under the first are included the examinations of students in divinity, and, after they have completed their course of study, the granting of licence to them as preachers of the Gospel; the trial of the qualifications of presentees to parishes, and their ordination and induction; the exercise of a-general supervision of the manner in which the duties of the ministry within the bounds are discharged; the investigation and determination of complaints and reports affecting the character and ministerial usefulness of any of its members, and the consideration and disposal of dissents and complaints, ...
