A collection consisting of 68 pamphlets from the pamphlet war conducted before, during, and after the Disruption. Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, London, and Newcastle upon Tyne: various publishers, 1837 92. All small 8vo. $2575.00 From about 1820 through 1843 the Church of Scotland was in turmoil over the question of lay patronage and its implications regarding civil authority over the church; in 1843, after the "Ten Years' Conflict" between the evangelical and moderate branches of the church, the issues were temporarily resolved by "the Disruption," in which close to a third of the ministers of the Church of Scotland separated to form the Free Church of Scotland. The upheaval prompted the publication of numerous pamphlets and treatises on the controversy, and its effects continued to be felt in Scotland for many years afterward. The collection contains works by many of the principal voices of the conflict. The vast majority of the publications are from ca. 1840. A good research collection. List below.
