Excerpt from Thoughts and Counsels for the Impenitent IN common with other Christians, both in the ministry and out of it, the author has not beheld with indifference the vast mass of immortal mind which is moving onward to destruction. And for several years has his voice been employed in the endeavour, with the aid of our Almighty and pity ing Lord, to arrest a small portion of this moving mass in its progress toward so mournful an end. But his voice cannot reach so far as his desire to do good extends. Hence the following work. He is not ignorant of the fact, that several other works of superior merit, designed for the same class, exist. Yet has he been induced to send this forth, under the impression that it may fall into the hands of some who may have never read those other works; or who, should they have had access to one or more of them, may still, perchance, have their eye fall on something here which may be to them not alto gether unprofitable. To the blessing of the God of Grace the author would commend both it and the reader. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
