The Booke of the Universall Kirk of Scotland

The subsequent history of these volumes—the best, perhaps, that can now be given—is to be found in a “Statement” concerning[iii] them, drawn up by Dr John Lee, the present Clerk of the General Assembly, in 1828, and printed in 1829, with the view of effecting the recovery of these Registers from the Trustees of Sion College, who, as already stated, had obtained possession of them. Dr Lee having kindly communicated a copy of that “Statement,” we gladly avail ourselves of the opportunity of embodying it entire on this occasion.
