Excerpt from A Few Remains When the Memoir of Doctor MacGregor was projected, it was supposed that all his writings that remain, or are deemed worthy of preservation, might be included in the same volume with it. Although the materials for the history of his life increased beyond what was anticipated, yet the same idea was retained, until a large portion of the work was actually stereotyped, when the unexpected discovery of a large amount of his MSS., particularly of a treatise on "the Religious Imprecations, and denunciations of God's wrath, in the Book of Psalms, " rendered a change of plan necessary. It was found impossible to include both the Memoir and Remains in one 12mo. volume, without rendering it entirely disproportioned in bulk, and still the friends of the deceased would not be willing that any portion of either should be suppressed. Hence, it has been resolved to issue the Remains in a separate volume, and the editor feels a conviction, that, not only those who knew and admired the author, but many to whom his name has been hitherto unknown, will rejoice in the preservation of a treatise on an important subject, but ill-understood among Christians, the discovery of which has rendered the present volume necessary. In the arrangement of these remains we have placed first those treatises on subjects of Christian doctrine, which were completely prepared for the press, and which the author may have expected to form additions to general Christian literature.
