Memoir and Remains of the Rev. Robert Murray M'Cheyne
Minister of St. Peter's Church, Dundee by the Rev. Andrew A. Bonar, D.D., Minister of the Free Church of Scotland, Glasgow. New edition with Appendices, Facsimiles of Writings, and Portrait (1892)


Preface to this edition

THE publishers of this edition have asked me to furnish an Appendix, giving additional information on such points as the results of the Mission of Inquiry into the State of the Jews, and some brief reference to the friends mentioned in the note at the close of Chap. I. The facsimiles, also, of Mr. M'Cheyne’s handwriting will be valued by friends. The larger type, and a few other improvements, will be welcomed.
Glasgow, July 1892.

Preface to the First Edition

In this Memoir very mucn nas been preserved or Mr. M'Cheyne’s own words as well as feelings. Still there is a defect quite apparent. All who knew him not only saw in him a burning and a shining light, but felt also the breathing of the hidden life of God; and there is no narrative that can fully express this peculiarity of the living man. Yet, nevertheless, as I have had the prayers of many, and have myself throughout asked the Lord to guide me with His eye, I believe He will not let this record of His servant go forth unblessed. Many of his most precious Letters will be found, in whole or in part, in this volume. The Portrait is not an exact likeness: it was executed after his death from a very imperfect sketch by himself; but it will recall his form to all who knew him. It is now a year since he rested from his labours; and this Memoir is a record of some of those works that follow him.
Collace, March 25, 1844
