    Vll a people who loved me, and whom I loved; but there being no probability of such an event now, 1 have felt the time pass pleasantly which I have spent in putting these sheets into a permanent shape; and while I record my deep gratitude to God for having preserved me “ in perils among the heathen, in perils in the wilderness, and in perils in the sea,” I have also the opportunity of placing in the hands of many friends who have often wished for it, a volume which, I trust, both in appearance and in in¬ terest, will be acceptable to them.
