The youngest of the family, the editor of these Letters and Diaries, has been for some years past in Scotland prosecut ing studies for the Holy Ministry - with what pro mise of future usefulness, the writer of this note may be permitted to say, will easily appear from the manner in which he has executed the task of preparing this memorial of his beloved brother.
