Excerpt from The History of the Kirk of Scotland: From the Year 1558 to August 1637 The Council of the Wodrow Society, in considering the works most suitable for commencing the series of their publication, were desirous of furnishing the Members with a volume relating to the History of the Church immediately subsequent to the period of the Reformation. For this purpose, the Manuscripts of John Row, minister of Carnock, so frequently referred to by subsequent writers, were brought under their notice. It was indeed known that an edition of Row's History was actually in the press for the Maitland Club, Glasgow, while another was announced as contemplated by the Spalding Club, Aberdeen; but it was considered that any such publications, restricted as either of these editions would necessarily be to a very limited number of members, or a local circulation, should present no adequate reason to deter the Council from authorising the work to be printed in a more accessible form.
