Excerpt from The Description, Reasons and Reward of the Believer's Walking With God: On Genesis V. 24 There is one word, at least, on the title page of this volume, which, with certain classes of people, will give to it no interest, and conciliate for it no friends. Solitude and a book - some one of them will ex claim and such a book as this too, which talks of nothing but solemn self-inquiry, and the duty and pri vilege of walking with God, and frequent spiritual converse with him, and breathings of Christian devo tion l - This is a combination which will never do with me, and the person is not my friend, or else he knows me not, who would tender to me any such proposal. I, at least, am not made for solitude. The very thought of it, seriously urged upon me, has never failed to sicken my spirit, extinguish the vivacity of my nature, and involve me in sulkiness or sorrow. And to add to the solitude, the dull and dismal companionship of such a volume as this, which treats of a subject which I disown, and inculcates activities which I despise, and eulogizes pleasures which I dislike, is to deepen the gloom of my situation, and render my unhappiness complete.
