Edinburgh: William Paterson; London: John Russell Smith, 1866. First Edition. Very good. Six volumes, Tall quarto., 3/4 leather / marbled boards. -- [Shipping & Insurance To Be Determined. Inquire before ordering]. -- Moderate wear to extremities. Internally tight & clean, binding sound. -- All volumes in similar condition. -- Overall Condition. "Hew Scott (1791-1872) was a minister of the Church of Scotland parish of Anstruther Wester. He is largely remembered as a religious researcher and author. His "magnum opus" is the comprehensive, multi-volume work, Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae: The succession of ministers in the parish churches of Scotland, from the reformation, A.D. 1560, to the present time. This is a detailed, biographical record of each of the ministers of each of the parishes of the Church of Scotland from 1560 to 1870. (It also refers to earlier priests/ministers, where possible). It was first published between 1866 and 1871 but it is regularly updated by the Church of Scotland. -- The project took him 50 years and covered 760 parishes (often with more than one church per parish), including parishes which were either gone, amalgamated or fleeting in existence. Volume 1 was in part aided by Dr Gordon of Newbattle, Dr Struthers of Prestonpans and David Laing. -- Profits from the book went to the Ministers' Daughters' College. However, it was not well-received in the literary world, as it is hardly "bedtime reading". Of 250 copies printed less than half sold. Nevertheless it is a truly outstanding academic work of research. Scott became somewhat depressed regarding the huge task he had taken on, especially when starting to lose his eyesight in later life".-wikipedia.
