edition , by Rev . George Cook . But little notice is required from us of this excellent work . First published in 1870 by the late Dr . Cookone of
the best Church lawyers that Scotland , ever produced , it at onee took rank as the chief authority on the subject . That rank it has eveT
since held . A Scottish law book cannot have a very wide circulation , and a Scottish Church law book must be content with a Tery small
circulation indeed . That this work is in its fifth edition within twelve years is a convincing proof of its excellence . The present one is carefully
revised and brought down to date . From Tlie ' Commercial Gazette Office . — '
