 alfo of the late Mr Oswald and Dr Smith, and when they 

 vifited the place of their nativity, the companion of their focial

To thofe who were not intimately acquainted with the fub* 

 ject of the foregoing narrative, the language of eulogy may 

 feem to have been admitted to too great an extent ; and exag- 

 geration of praife may be fufpected, merely becaufe fuch vir- 

 tuous men as the late Dr Drysdale are not often to be found.

 truth has been aimed at, and the language of panegyric may ac- 

 cord fometim.es with the dictates of truth. 



Since Dr Drysd ale's death, two volumes of his fermons 

 have been publifhed, which will be a lading monument of his 

 admirable talents as a Preacher ; being, in the opinion of com- 

 petent judges, compofitions of the higheft excellence, and evi- 

 dently the productions of a mind of a fuperior order..
