Excerpt from The Practice in the Several Judicatories: Of the Church of Scotland A regular attendance on the Church courts is, with out doubt, the most effectual means of attaining to an acquaintance with their forms. But that regular at tendance it is not possible always, or in all situations, to give. Other means must therefore be applied to. Compilations of the Acts of Assembly, arranged under different heads, which have been published from time to time, are extremely useful. There is a compend of the laws of the Church, now in its second edition, which contains not only the Acts of Assembly, but also a reprint of various books or treatises connected with our Church, which are scarcely to be had. Among others there is Fardovan, so long the text book, as it were, of ministers in all matters of govern ment and of discipline. But even Fardovan, useful as it was, required to be remodelled. There is much in it that is superfluous, and a good deal in which, in modern times, it is deficient. The present little work is offered as a manual instead of Fardovan. Its ob ject is to detail minutely and briefly the proceedings of the different courts in our ecclesiastical establish ment. The simplest arrangement has been adopted for this purpose and the utmost pains have been employed to prevent repetitions, and to compress the information that is given into the smallest compass. There are marginal notes and an index given, to make it easy to refer to any particular topic. Should the work be useful, the author will gratefully receive any suggestions respecting its arrangement, or the omis sions which he has made in it. For, however desirous he has been to be accurate in his information, he can not presume to think that those who are still better acquainted than himself with the subjects of which he treats, will not discover many defects in his work. In the View of the Constitution of the Church of Scotland by Principal Hill, there are some details re specting the proceedings of the different courts, and these are either quoted or referred to, as coming from an authority of the highest kind. But details, both ampler and more minute in their nature, appeared to be wanting 3 and such it is the object of this work to supply.
