PREFACE
TO
THIS
EDITION.
Vii
The
present
edition
is
printed, under
the
superinten-
dance
of
a dissenting minister, without
mutilation
or
abridgment,
from
the
best
quarto
edition
of
the Works,
published under the
care
of
Drs.
Doddridge
and
Jen-
nings,
which
are
now
equally scarce
and
dear.
We
shall
only
add,
that
the
largeness
and
clearness
of
the
type
will
recommend
this
edition
to
aged
persons,
to
whom
former
octavo
editions were ineligible,
either
as
being in
too
small a
letter, or
too
crouded.
Those
who
admire
elegant typography,
and
wish
to
encourage
the publication
of
the
best
works
in
a
suitable
dress
of
neatness
and
elegance,
will
be
grated
by
our
superior
edition in
royal
octavo
;
while those to
whom
aconomy
is
a
necessary.duty,
will
find
the
inferior
edition
perfectly
answerable
to
their
wishes,
whether
for
use
in
the
closet
or
the
FAMILY,
to
which
latter
purpose
most
of
the Discourses
are
admirably
suited,
though
by
no
means
confined.
