Excerpt from Death-Bed Scenes, and Pastoral Conversations, Vol. 1

Two months ago, when we ventured to publish a second Volume of this work, we were induced to do it by the praise bestowed upon the first, which reached us through various channels; but the whole edition of that volume being now exhausted, and another edition required, so extensive a demand is a more decisive and substantial proof of the esteem and popularity which it enjoys.

That it should be the lot of a book to be popular, with a title so unattractive, or rather forbidding, and with so awful a matter as death for its main subject, speaks strongly for the serious turn of the age, whatever it may do for the talent of the Author. He himself, we are sure, would have claimed no other merit from the success of his labours, had he lived to see it, than that of having faithfully described what he saw and heard in the course of his own experience. The truth is, we believe, that, whilst all men know that they have this last scene to act, very many are desirous of knowing also how they may act it well; and they hope to acquire that momentous -ih formation from the study of this book. It is our hearty wish that such a hope may not be in vain.
