-00.3-PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION
The Lord having greatly blessed the First Edition of this little work, to many of His people in affliction, and three thousand copies being now in circulation — I have been requested to revise and enlarge it, in hope that its usefulness may be still far more extensive. A number of fresh pieces are therefore added, and some of the former pieces are enlarged. And now, committing it to the direction and blessing of that gracious God, who has so signally crowned it with His favor, I have only to request the reader to pray for a blessing on the author and His work — that God may be greatly glorified, and many souls profited by its perusal.
James Smith, Cheltenham, 1842
