A sammelband of seven works, predominantly printed at Edinburgh in the first half of the eighteenth-century and concerned with Presbyterianism in Scotland.
Highlights include:
Two remarkably scarce sermons, one by influential dissenting minister and a founder of the Secession church, Ebenezer Erskine (1680-1754); the other by James Guthrie (c.1612- 1661), a Church of Scotland minister exempted from general pardon following the Restoration and subsequently executed on charges of high treason in part for being complicit in issuing a public testimony against religious toleration and regulations previously agreed to by Church and State.
The first published work of Hugh Heugh (son of John Heugh (1688-1731), minister of Kingoldrum), criticising the teaching methods of moral philosopher Francis Hutcheson (1694-1746) during his tenure at the University of Glasgow.
