Contains key acts restoring and regulating the Episcopal hierarchy in Scotland reflecting James VI's effort to align Scottish ecclesiastical governance more closely with the Church of England. Features the notable "Act Against Skandalous Speeches and Lybels" highlighting the Crown's stringent control over public discourse sedition and political dissent during the Union of the Crowns. Compiled by Sir John Skene of Currie Clerk Register and prominent legal antiquary whose official revisions standardized public access to statutory law in early modern Scotland.

Veit, dated 5/14/1899, showing a military cadet with rifle in profile, and the head of a young lady with hat. Arthur Stobo Veit (1884-1912), son of a manager of the Standard Oil Company, attended Montclair Military College, Pennsylvania Military Academy, and the Hill School before going to Columbia as part of the Class of 1907. These drawings were probably done while he was at the PA Military Academy. He left Columbia in 1905 to join the Standard Oil Company. In 1912 he committed suicide on a New York street, the cause of his distrees was a great mystery at the time - and remains so today. POETRY BOX 4
