Of the Work itself (says the Editor in his Preface) osy
opinion may be seen in the painful labour of arranging, cork.
rsctiag, improving, and editing, which I Malawi long sustained.
A deep conviction of its great imporunce and worth led me to,i
undertake the task, and patiently pursue it to the end. I need
not say, that every man who wishes to understand the Scriptures
as far as they relate to fbrintal Customs and Manners, or who'
;:i.gessep to explain them to others, should not only possess a
Copy si thsi Work, but endeavour thoroughly to understand its
contents. loth: Lout such a work, ninety•nbte out of every hum
died 01 those wh,;profess to teach the Church of Goa, must re-
main, in many in,*rtant respects, ignorant of the contents of

manner in-which the Editdr 4! executed his task, stray be
