Notes: "The following letters were addressed, for the most part, to persons in affliction. They are not, however, merely consolatory. Sorrow is the fruit of sin, and therefore its true cure lies only in that medicinal truth which purifies the heart, and 'saves and sets the sinner free.' With this conviction, it was the writer's object in these letters to state that great truth in the different lights and connections in which it appears in Scripture. The individuals to whom they were written believed that they received benefit from them, and they thought that others might do so likewise.--This is the history of their publication."--p. [v]
