Sinopsis

Illuminates a historic dispute over a Scottish Prayer-Book and church authority. This edition compiles long letters that argue about liturgy, rubrics, and the role of bishops in the Church of Scotland and England, revealing how doctrine and practice clash in public debate.

Two letters and numerous excerpts explore how a new Prayer-Book was received, what it changes in worship, and whether those changes align with canon law. The author weighs tradition, authority, and the boundaries of episcopal power, presenting a careful, argumentative stance without drifting into fiction.

- Understand the key conflicts around liturgical texts in the 17th–19th centuries
- See how canons and rubrics were interpreted and contested
- Learn how church governance, authority, and unity were debated in print
- Follow the author’s reasoning about tradition, reform, and ecclesiastical power

Ideal for readers of church history, liturgy, and historical debates on church authority.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from Seven Letters to the Guardian on the Report of Part of the Proceedings of the Synod of St. Andrews, Published in That Paper, July 3rd, 1850

The New prayer-book continues to be advertised and sold. The incorrect report of the proceedings of our Diocesan Synod has not been corrected or withdrawn. These facts must be my justification for complying with the wish of Friends, who have requested me to collect and republish the following Letters. In so doing, I request the attention of the Members of our Church to these few Prefatory remarks.

I. I have been accused of agitating the Church upon the subject of the New prayer-book.
