"These reflections were first written with a design to be published in a small volume, proper to be given away by well disposed persons at funerals, or on any other solemn occasion. But the editors of the Christian's Magazine, supposing they might be of some service to that useful and well-esteemed work, requested the author first to print them here, and afterwards to pursue his original design. Accordingly they were printed in separate chapters, and he hath reason to be satisfied with the reception they met with. His best prayers accompany them in their present form, that they may be useful to mankind." (William Dodd). Illustrated with two full-page engravings. Decorative tailpieces throughout.
