Discourses on the nature of faith, and kindred subjects

Preface

A few months before his decease, the Author of the Discourses on the Nature of Faith expressed a hope that he might at some time be able to revise them for publication. Upon consultation with personal and literary friends, it is thought that, without the finislf which his own hand would have given them, they will nevertheless be a worthy memorial, and contribute to the knowledge of Christian truth.

The other Discourses are added, partly as completing the previous discussions, and partly as a portraiture of evils which he felt more keenly than most persons, and which for Christ's sake he most deeply deplored.

To those who may suffer as he did from these evils, or who may doubt respecting his views of Christian Faith, the Notes which have been appended may be not without value.
