Fortunately New College Library\u00a0\u00a0recently received Scotland’s Methodists 1750-2000<\/em> by Margaret Batty, as a donation from the author. It’s just been catalogued and is available at BX 8285 Bat.\u00a0On reference, we also have\u00a0 Oliver A. Beckerlegge’s United Methodist Ministers and their Circuits 1797-1932, <\/em>and enquirers able to visit the library can browse the shelves of church history books\u00a0at LC class BX, and in the old UTS sequence, LX, which contain other\u00a0titles about Methodism.\u00a0<\/p>\n
