Excerpt from The Public Worship of Presbyterian Scotland Historically Treated: The Fourteenth Series of the Cunningham Lectures ON the foregoing title-page I have endeavoured to set forth concisely the scope and the limitations of the following work. As there stated, the subject treated is not that of the principles of divine service in general, neither is it that of all the forms of public worship which have been or are at present observed in Scotland. All I have undertaken to give is a statement of the legislation and a description of the service-books which have determined the usage and practice of Scotland when free to carry out her chosen and beloved Presbyterian polity and ritual.

It offers an in-depth narrative of a neglected liturgical legacy and a perceptive analysis of the Church’s evolving patterns of worship from the middle of the 19th century to the present day.
