S.P.C.K.

All three items are grubby but in good condition. The manuscript (a copy for Murray Beith <?>, W.S.) consists of 6 4to pages on two loose bifoliates, and is dated 3 March 1880. The gist of the complaint is 'that the present diverting of the Revenues from Educational purposes is not in accordance with but in violation of the great ends for which the Society was incorporated as these are set forth in its Letters Patent'. The Narrative covers three pages of a 4to bifoliate and is signed in type 'J. CALDER MACPHAIL'.

The five issues are each eight pages long and octavo. All five issues unbound, and stabbed. All good, though lightly aged and with some wear to extremities. An improving publication, produced 'Under the direction of the Committee of General Literature and Education, appointed by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge'.
