TO THE

THIRD EDITION.

THE Author cannot but feel flattered at the favourable reception this little Work has received from both the Literary and Religious World, and knows no better way of expressing gratitude for this early call for a Second and Third Edition, than by endeavouring to improve it. With this view the remarks of friendly criticism have been listened to with attention, and the Author's thanks are particularly due to the kind suggestions of a FRIEND, who chose to be anonymous.
