In the progress of this book through the press it has been corrected, and essentially improved, by my Friends, the Rev. EDGAR N. DUMBLETON, the Rev. WILLIAM E. HEYGATE, JOHN KENT, Esq., the Rev. WILLIAM W. LA BARTE, and, although last named, by no means least esteemed, the Rev. GEORGE WILLIAMS, the learned author of "THE HOLY CITY." To all I offer my grateful thanks; as also to Messrs. TRUSCOTT, SON, AND SIMMONS, for their indulgence in keeping the type unbroken till the end.
