Robert Benedetto's article The Presbyterian Mission Press in Central Africa, 1890-1922 in American Presbyterians Vol 68, No. 1. (Spring, 1990) lists 29 publications of the Mission Press during those years, with this item being no. 26. Benedetto suggests it may have been printed in the USA, but there is no imprint stating for certain.

"Meetings of Pastors and Elders. First 'Book of Church Order' issued after the PCUS General Assembly granted permission to form a Presbytery on the mission field." - Benedetto.
