Book excerpt: Excerpt from Supplement to the Compendium of the Laws: Of the Church of Scotland The Compendium of Laws and Institutes of the Established Church of Scotland, which was published about five years ago, has been honoured with the approval of the public, and of many competent judges; and the utility of such a digest has been fully established by the fact, that it is now to be found in the hands of almost every Churchman and Lawyer, as a book for reference, in all matters of a relative character, which are cognizable in our Courts, Civil as well as Ecclesiastical. This circumstance, and the sale of a large impression, now nearly exhausted, has suggested to the Compiler of it, the expediency of adding as much as in him lies to the value of that work; and this, for the present at least, he apprehends may be done effectually, and with the most ample justice to the purchasers of the first edition, and all other parties concerned, by a Supplement, which shall embrace the Statutory Enactments of the Church since the Acts of General Assembly 1830, up to which period, from the earliest times of the Church, the Second Volume of the Compendium contained an abridgment or transcript of the prior statutes. Since the publication of that work was completed in April 1831, important, and what may be termed organic changes, have taken place in the constitution of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland.
