Excerpt from Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae, Vol. 6: The Succession of Ministers in the Church of Scotland From the Reformation The Editorial Committee have pleasure in issuing the Sixth Volume of the Fasti. This Volume they consider one of the most important of the Series, embodying, as it does, the record of a greater number of ministers appointed after 1839 than is contained in any of the previous Volumes. The lists before 1839 have been very carefully revised; many hitherto unrecorded names have been added, together with a large amount of freshly-acquired information. The lack of two Separate Registers - those of Abernethy and Forres (apparently lost) has been a hampering element, but as far as possible, the necessary details have been supplied from other sources. The officials of H. M. General Register House have again afforded courteous access to various Records in their keeping. Information has come from numerous private individuals at home and abroad. Practically all forms of Local Literature have been consulted, Churchyard inscriptions gleaned, and newspaper notices examined. Great pains have been taken to secure accuracy, and where discrepancies have occurred - mostly with regard to proper names and dates - the official Registers have been accepted as authority. The Committee desire to express their thanks to the Clerks of the different Presbyteries; also to Mr John A. Henderson, Cults, Aberdeenshire: J. F. Kellas Johnstone, LL.D.; the Rev. John Stirton, D.D., Crathic; the Rev. Archibald Macdonald, D.D., Kiltarlity, and many others, for much assistance and information. The Volume has been brought down to the eve of publication.
