PREFACE. THE Author of the following Work is fully conscious of its unfitness to meet the eye of severe criticism; he feels that its publication may render him liable to the charge of presumption for having attempted to write on a subject which belongs more properly to the pen of a higher and nobler profession: yet, as "the Redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ" is a theme of unspeakable comfort and joy to all who sincerely embrace the Christian faith, so to employ his harp in the praises of the God of his salvation, is surely the laudable service of every Christian.
