Excerpt from The Whole Works of the Most Reverend Father in God, Robert Leighton, D.D., Archbishop of Glasgow, Vol. 1 of 4

Leighton's nephew; and its genuineness being ascer tained, no question can arise about its authenticity. The composition of it is confused and disorderly for the worthy writer has put down the memorable actions and sayings of his revered uncle, as they occurred to his memory; interspersing many pious and affectionate remarks, which are creditable to his disposition indeed, but prejudicial to the distinct ness of his narration. It has been one principal busi ness of the present biographer, to extract the jewels from this heap; and to arrange them in the order, that chronology seemed to prescribe, or that served best to reflect light on the Archbishop's character. One of the surest proofs of the genuineness of this document arises from copies of four letters subjoined to it, bearing Leighton's signature.
