I got my copy through the mail earlier; thanks, Chris. I am really looking forward to reading the elder Thomas McCrie on the Marrow Controversy. I was never able to find the relevant editions of the Edinburgh Christian Instructor online, nor have I had an occasion of late to be in Edinburgh to look at any hard copies of this publication.

There are two bits in the 2020 issue, the M'Crie and the extract by R. A. Webb. The issue is worth getting just for these but then there's the Ussher bits too. Both very hard to find and neither has been digitized and put on the Internet. Both the texts curteousy of Wayne Sparkman who snagged the M'Crie from David Lachman and the Webb if of course in his more specific wheelhouse obtaining Southern Presbyterian. materials for the PCA Historical Center. I spent some sometimes frustrating time updating M'Crie's citations because he wrote a few years before he edited the Wodrow Letters in 3 volumes of Correspondence (but a surprising number he referenced he didn't include in the collection as he had to be sparing in including responses) and before the 4 volume Analecta were published and he cited the MS; he also cited quite a number of MS collections I had to find the new under new classifications. Lachman's book on the Marrow Controversy helped quite a bit but even since his book some of the reference numbering has changed.
