Excerpt from A View of the Constitution of the Church of Scotland I have not found it necessary to make any material corrections upon the first edi tion. In the fourth section, I have given a more minute detail of the manner in which business is introduced into the General As sembly; in the seventh section I have enlarged the account of the augmentations of stipends, and of the widows' fund; and to the Appendix I have added copies or abstracts of some recent Acts of Parliament, very interesting to the ministers of the Church of Scotland, and also a note con taining the substance of what I stated in the third part of the Theological Institutes, respecting the Maintenance of the Poor in Scotland.
