Excerpt from Sketches, Literary and Theological: Being Selections From an Unpublished Ms. Of the Late Rev. George Gilfillan, Dundee

Among the Mss. left by the late Mr. Gilfillan, there was one, consisting of seven complete books, ready for publication, and entitled, "Reconciliation, a Life History." It was Mr. Gilfillan's intention to publish this Ms. in the form in which it has been handed to me, and I have no doubt that had he lived a short time longer, it would have been so published. Its existence, and the general design of the work, were well known to many of his friends and correspondents, and this fact, together with the assurance I possessed of his own intentions regarding it, led me to the conclusion that I ought not to entirely withhold its publication. Mr. Gilfillan evidently intended it as a sequel to his "History of a Man, " and to give his opinions on more recent literary, philosophical, and especially theological questions.
