Excerpt from The Christian's Manual of Faith and Devotion: Containing Dialogues and Prayers Suited to the Various Exercises of the Christian Life, and an Exhortation to Ejaculatory Prayer, With Forms of Ejaculatory and Other Prayers It seems proper, now that the great and good man wuu per formed the office of compiler has been removed to a better state, that something should be said in relation to the origin of the Christian's Manual. On the first appearance in this country of the Village Manual, the publishers were so much gratified in the perusal of it, that they determined to give a reprint. This determination was made known to their greatly lamented friend bishop Hobart. Though delighted with the work, his active mind perceived at once its susceptibility of im provement and enlargement. He tendered his services, and the advertisement to the first edition shows whatwas effected. In the second edition some alterations and improvements were ade, and a number of Prayers added, which were taken from British work then just published, entitled, A Century of hristian Prayers on Faith, Hope, and Charity; with a Morn g and Evening Devotion.
