‘Act of the Associate Presbytery for Renewing the National Covenant’ (Edinburgh, 1748), bound with blank pages for subscriptions, issued to the Congregation at Muckhart.
Scope and Contents
The blank pages are filled with: (i) copies, made in 1763, of the sets of signatures for seven years from 1745 to 1758; (ii) original signatures, and the names of those who could not write, for 1769, 1776, and 1781. A Communion Roll of the United Presbyterian Congregation at Muckhart, 1886, is inserted at folio 29.
There are on the fly-leaf a modern inscription in shorthand, with the name James Duncan (possibly a relative of the United Presbyterian Church Presbytery Clerk whose signature appears on folio 31 verso), and two shorthand copies of the title on the title-page.
