The advertiser would beg respectfully to call special attention to the above most important collection of the Acts of the Church of Scotland, as being the only authentic records of the proceedings of the church, and which must be both interesting and invaluable to the ecclesiastical historian and antiquary.  No library, public or private, which lays claim to the possession to any extent of works of an analogous kind, can be said to be complete without a set of the Church of Scotland Acts.  The copy now for sale is in very fine condition and quite entire, and has the very rare first volume (1638-49) in the original folio size, which is generally supplied by the small octavo reprint, and such a copy the advertiser confidently presumes will not be found for sale in the kingdom.

Application to be made to

Robert Ogle, Bookseller, South Bridge, Edinburgh.

N.B.  A liberal price will be given for a first volume of the above work, 1638-49, in folio.
