Excerpt from The History of the Kirk of Scotland, Vol. 8: Containing the Appendix and General Index This last consideration was apparently the reason that induced Calderwood to prepare his History in the Three different states in which it still exists, to afford additional security for its preservation, at a period when, to all appearance, the whole platform of Presbyterian Church government, in Scot land, was threatened to be overturned. In the Appendix I have already described the successive changes in the History, made by the Author, but it may be proper, in this place, brie¿y to notice the probable dates of the several Manuscripts. The Manuscript of the larger History, in three volumes, concludes, on page 1609, with the year 1586, but Calderwood himself refers to it as extending to 3136 pages, and, judging from the handwriting, these volumes were probably the first compiled.
