I Have been requested to write sketches of Old School Presbyterian ministers, who have died during the period of the separation of the church, sufficient to occupy a very limited portion of this volume. In looking over the list of those who may be considered representative ministers, who have died within these thirty-three years, I am bound to aay that there is double the number that I have selected, who are just as fairly entitled to a commemorative notice, as most of those whom I have made the subjects of it. As it was impossible, however, to include them all within the specified limits, while I have taken care to include none whom the voice of the whole Church would not pronounce worthy of being thus distinguished, I have made the selection not without some reference to the comparative facility with which the material for different sketches could bo obtained. Those who do not find in the series, some honored and beloved names which they look for, may rest assured that the omission has been occasioned by the circumstances I have mentioned, and not by the want of due appreciation of the individuals concerned.—W.
