The Episcopal congregation of St Andrew's was founded in 1865 and initially used a chapel in Infirmary Street, Edinburgh. It was renamed St. Michael's in 1881, and in 1882 moved to Hill Square, Edinburgh. It remained there until 1965, when it was united with the congregation of All Saints to form the new congregation of St Michael and All Saints.
The title page of the volume is decorated, and the volume throughout written in a calligraphic hand in black and red ink. Sung parts of the liturgy are given in settings for four voices.
