Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ... DISCIPLINE. ANOTHER matter which, like the keeping of fasts, was more minutely and carefully attended to in the days of the Laggan Presbytery, than it is in the present day, was the exercise of discipline; that is, censuring and punishing persons guilty of immoralities, or of actions that tended to bring disgrace on the name of religion. In its earlier years the Laggan Presbytery, having itself no legal protection, and existing only on sufferance, did not find itself in a position to keep to that strict order of discipline which was a characteristic of the mother Church of Scotland. In Scotland the Church kept very rigid watch over the morals of its people, taking notice of, and inflicting censures and punishment for offences which are now, in general, lightly passed over; or, if taken notice of at all, it is the civil law that judges and punishes them, and which, if the Courts of the Church tried to deal with, their decisions would receive but little respect in many cases. We find Mr. Trail, when he was examined before the Privy Council in 1681, declining to give an opinion as to the King's power and the Church's power in the appointing of fasts, on the ground that he was a young man, and since he had entered the ministry the Presbyterian Church had not had the free exercise of discipline, and consequently he had little occasion to be well acquainted with these controversies. However, from the very beginning of its existence, the Presbytery, as we would expect, used its influence for the promoting of peace and morality amongst the people under its care, and for composing differences and disputes amongst the members of the various congregations. At the second meeting of which we have any official record, held on the 18th of September, ..

Excerpt from In the Days of the Laggan Presbytery I have drawn largely on the manuscript Minutes of the Presbytery of the Laggan, now in the library of the Magee College, and in the numerous extracts given from these unpublished records I have kept to the old spelling and diction of the Minutes, feeling that any attempt to dress them up in more modern phraseology would rob them of much of their quaintness and old-world charm; and as this book is not intended for scholars, but for ordinary people, I have not been careful to give exactoccurrences recorded therein are drawn, believing that to do so would only be perplexing to most of the readers. Into whose hands this book is likely to come. The spelling in the extracts from the Laggan Minutes may be a little puzzling to some, but if the reader will bear in mind that y stands for th, as ye for the, yt for that.

In spite of the many historical studies of Irish Protestant migration to America in the eighteenth century, there is a noted lack of study in the transatlantic migration of Irish Protestants in the nineteenth century. The main hindrance in rectifying this gap has been finding a method with which to approach a very difficult historiographical problem. The Invisible Irish endeavours to fill this blank spot in the historical record. Rankin Sherling imaginatively uses the various bits of available data to sketch the first outline of the shape of Irish Presbyterian migration to America in the nineteenth century. Using the migration of Irish Presbyterian ministers as "tracers" of a larger migration, Sherling demonstrates that eighteenth-century migration of Protestants reveals much about the completely unknown nineteenth-century migration. An original and creative blueprint of Irish Presbyterian migration in the nineteenth century, The Invisible Irish calls into question many of the assumptions that the history of Irish migration to America is built upon.

Conflicts between protestants and Catholics intensified as the Cromwellian invasion of 1649 inflamed the blood-soaked antagonism between the English and Irish. In the ensuing decade, half of Ireland's landmass was confiscated while thousands of natives were shipped overseas - all in a bid to provide safety for English protestants and bring revenge upon the Irish for their rebellion in 1641. Centuries later, these old wounds linger in Irish political and cultural discussion. In his new book, Crawford Gribben reconsiders the traditional reading of the failed Cromwellian invasion as he reflects on the invaders' fractured mental world. As a tiny minority facing constant military threat, Cromwellian protestants in Ireland clashed over theological issues such as conversion, baptism, church government, miraculous signs, and the role of women. Protestant groups regularly invoked the language of the "Antichrist," but used the term more often against each other than against the Catholics who surrounded them. Intra-protestant feuds splintered the Cromwellian party. Competing quests for religious dominance created instability at the heart of the administration, causing its eventual defeat. Gribben reconstructs these theological debates within their social and political contexts and provides a fascinating account of the religious infighting, instability, and division that tore the movement apart. Providing a close and informed analysis of the relatively few texts that survive from the period, Gribben addresses the question that has dominated discussion of this period: whether the protestants' small numbers, sectarian divisions and seemingly beleaguered situation produced an idiosyncratic theology and a failed political campaign.
