      Of the four early important leaders of the Disciples of Christ Barton W. Stone was the only native born American. His Christian Church movement was well under way before the Campbells came to America, and it was the union of his Christians with Campbell's Reformers in 1832 that produced the Disciples of Christ.

      The secession of Stone and his followers from the Presbyterian Church in Kentucky in 1804 and his previous dissent with the Synod of Kentucky caused many tracts to be published against him. These are not listed in this issue with the books about him, but will be published later along with similar works about the two Campbells and Walter Scott in a special "attacks" bibliography.

      The Last Will and Testament of the Springfield Presbytery. 1804.
      Until recently the basic authorship of this work was attributed to Stone. Scholars now think that Richard McNemar wrote the document which was signed by himself, Marshall, Dunlavy, Stone, Thompson and Purviance.
      Since there are no recorded copies of the original printing a bibliographic description is not possible. The first known publication was in The Biography of Eld. Barton Warren Stone, Written by Himself, 1847, and the latest was in The New Light Christians, by Colby D. Hall, 1959. Many printings between 1847 and 1955 were listed in Declaration and Address [and] Last Will and Testament, Bethany Press, 1955.
