&c. &c. &c.

MY DEAR FRiend,

WITH every scene and event recorded on the following pages, you have been, and always will be, associated.

A friendship, now of some years' standing, commenced between us as yoke-fellows in the gospel, has been doubly cemented by a participation of toil, danger, and delight in the land of scripture-history. The assurance of this has mingled many a happy feeling with the labours of authorship; and I cannot now forego the gratification of inscribing my faint sketch of our pilgrimage to you.

We have wandered as aliens amidst the desolations of the earthly Canaan-may it be ours to sit down eternally as citizens in the glories of the heavenly Jerusalem.

Believe me, my dear Friend,

Ever affectionately your's,

WALSALL VICARAGE,

September, 1843.
