PREFACE.

THE writer of the following Letters is too well known as excelling in that capacity, to need any eulogium on the prefent occafion: but I think it justifiable to remark, that what is here offered to the public feems to merit greater recommendation than the Author's former productions of a fimilar nature, inafmuch as a clofer intimacy fubfifted between him and the perfon to whom these Letters are addressed, who was an inftrument in the hands of God of bringing Mr. Newton to the knowledge of the Truth, as may be gathered from the clofe of his narrative to Mr. Haweis, Letter 13th.-In the course of fo long a correspondence, many things would naturally occur too trivial to deferve notice, being of a private or domeftic concern, and therefore uninterefting.
