Excerpt from Discourses From the great number of manuscripts which Mr Martin left behind him, - all of them without the remotest View of ever being printed, - it has been found rather an anxious and difficult undertaking to make a selection, and to prepare it for the press. At one time, it was thought preferable to confine it within the range of his very excellent course of lec tures on the Gospel of Luke; and at another, to give only the series of sermons on 'the successive verses of the fifth chapter of the Second Epistle to the Corinthians, to both of which allusion is made in the succeeding Memoir. But after full consi deration, it has been judged most suitable, to com prise within this volume, a variety of insulated discourses, preached at different times during Mr Martin's ministry in Edinburgh, which appear to present the fairest specimens of his general style of preaching, and are, at the same time, known to have been highly acceptable and useful to those who, with the greatest regularity, waited upon his ministry.
