Introductory Note by Alexander Whyte

52 Melville Street,
Edinburgh, April 1st, 1889.

Dear Mr Melven,

I AM glad to see that you are about to publish a new edition of Fraser of Brea. In this you are doing a great service to the cause of personal religion in the country. Fraser was one of the ablest men in a time of able men, and his high and abiding value stands in this, that he turned his great intellectual gifts so powerfully to the interests of experimental religion. Fraser is one of my prime favourites: he stands besides Augustine, Bunyan, Baxter, Edwards, Boston, Shepard, and Halyburton, at my elbow.

I wish your new edition great success.

With much regard,

Yours most truly,

ALEXANDER WHYTE.
