Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Old Greyfriars' Church Edinburgh Old building has been compiled at the instigation of my friend and pastor, the Rev. A. B. Grant, b.d., the present incumbent. The recent discovery of an early portion of Wariston's Diary has upset the conventional story of the subscribing of the National Covenant, and, in the circum stances, I appealed to my learned friend, Dr. Hay Fleming, the discoverer of that manuscript, to undertake the writing of a Special chapter on a subject on which he is a recognised authority. The result of. His research and study will be found under Chapter VIII., and I have to tender him my grateful thanks for all his kind labours. My thanks are also due to Mr. John Cameron Robbie, my professional assistant, for much kind assistance ungrudgingly bestowed; and, lastly, to Dr. King Hewison for his kind permission in allow ing the prints of Alexander Henderson and George Gillespie to appear.
