A near-continuous run of the printed issues of the acts passed by the General Assembly, the governing body of the Church of Scotland, which has met annually to deliberate and legislate throughout the Church?s history. The run included here dates from 1690, when the Presbyterian governance of the church was enacted in Scots law to formalise the exclusion of the episcopal structure that had been controversially reintroduced after the Restoration, to 1726, a few years before the First Succession of 1733 - a turbulent period in which the interaction between Church law and civil law was a live issue.
