My deab Sib, It was at your earnest request that I undertook to prepare this Memoir; allow me to present it to the public through you. That these pages should exhibit a perfect image of your fathers excellence is impossible. The impression his goodness produced on his children, and on the friends who knew his daily life, no language can adequately represent I shall be satisfied if you think that strangers will find here a faint outline of his true character. The gratitude I feel to your fathers friends, who have aided me in various ways, will be shared by yourself. To the Bev. Dr King of Glasgow, whose communicataon on the early history of the Evangelical Alliance has been of great service to me 3to the Bev. William Guest, who has written an interesting paper on your fathers influence on the Spring-H ill Students; to the Rev. Dr Fatton and the Bev. Dr Sprague, who have sent me a large number of valuable letters, my thanks are especially due. The judgment of my friend and neighbour, the Bev. G. RJ ohnson of Edgbaston, has saved me from many mistakes, and would have saved me from many more had his health and engagements permitted me to consult him more frequently.
