While it is something to have, that set does not have the LC nor the rest of the documents stipulated. If you want an edition of all the Scottish standards including the books of discipline and 1560 confession and others, you will need to get the alternative collection to the traditional set of Westminster documents which the FPP edition represents. These were published in the 18th Century as: The Confessions of Faith, Catechisms, Directories, Form of Government, Discipline, etc. Of Publick Authority in the Church of Scotland (Edinburgh: Printed by Thomas Lumisden and John Robertson, 1725, various dates through 1785). It lacked the appeal of the traditional form set by the 1728 Lumisden and Robertson edition of the Westminster Standards which tradition the FPP edition follows (it is actually, mostly, a reprint of the Johnstone & Hunter 1855 Library edition). For all you may ever want to know about editions of the Westminster standards and some things about the text see:
Chris Coldwell, “Antiquary: The Traditional Form of The Westminster Standards.” The Confessional Presbyterian 1.168–175.
Chris Coldwell, “Examining the Work of S. W. Carruthers: Justifying a Critical Approach to the Text of the Westminster Standards & Correcting the 18th Century Lineage of the Traditional Scottish Text.” The Confessional Presbyterian 1.43–64.

I am a new Presbyterian (formally Baptist) and I want to start out right! | For $19.99, you can get the classic 3-volume set of all of the creeds and their history. Volume 3 contains the Westminster Confession and the shorter Catechism. But, you'll also get the First and Second Scotch Confession, The Thirty-nine Articles of the Church of England, the Baptist Confessions, the Revised Westminster Confessions of 1903 and many others, along with the history of how the different creeds came about and their background. creeds of christiandom - Christianbook.com Search
