Elizabeth Bell, from Murray Bridge in South Australia has a query about a second hand book she bought in Edinburgh many years ago.
Can anybody supply further information?

"
Jubilee Memorial of the Scottish Congregational Churches
Hi,
I
have a copy of the above book printed in 1849 by A. Fullarton &
Co. Edinburgh, London and Dublin. This I bought many years ago from a
secondhand book shop in
Edinburgh.
There
seems to have been 'H & J. Jenkins' stamped on the frontispiece.
Inside the book cover has been written, in good handwriting, 'Rev. D.
Livingstone' and what appears to be initials, 'DGH', Kilmarnock 2nd.
April 1849'.
Beneath, in a lesser quality handwriting, is 'William Jameson, Book a prisant. Janawary 1st. 1850'. Definitely misspelt!
I
have wondered from time to time if this book would be of any historical
value, and who this Reverend Livingstone was. I would appreciate any
comments on this. "
