Having been personally acquainted with the subject of the following memoir, I was requested, during my recent visit to the United States, by my revered friend James Lenox, Esq., of New York, to look over the last English edition, and mark what alterations might advantageously be made in a projected American edition of the work. This revision, hitherto delayed from unavoidable causes which it is needless to recount, has now been accomplished. As the general result, it may be stated that several minor mistakes, into which the Biographer had inadvertently fallen, have been corrected ;that various passages of inferior importance, or of merely local or ephemeral interest, have been omitted; that the essays of a purely literary or philosophical character have been extruded from the body of the work and thrown into an Appendix ;and finally, that the whole has been broken up into the more convenient division of chapters. AV ith many it may be a matter of doubt, whether the essays ought not to be excluded altogether. But, on mature consideration, it has been thought that the same reasons which weighed with the Biographer in originally introducing them, may well be regarded as still sufficiently valid in warranting the continued retention of them.

This book focuses on the life and character of John Urquhart, a young man whose remarkable piety and dedication to the Christian ministry marked his short life. The author, William Orme, meticulously recounts Urquhart's journey from his early education through his time at the University of St. Andrews, where he excelled in both his studies and his spiritual development. Throughout the book, Orme delves into the depths of Urquhart's religious convictions, exploring his unwavering belief in the importance of personal engagement in the work of missions. Through letters, essays, and testimonials from friends and mentors, the author paints a vivid picture of Urquhart's unwavering commitment to serving God and his fellow man, particularly in the context of spreading the gospel to those who had yet to receive it.
