Mr . Farmer and Dr . Watts . Sir , January 1 st , 1812 * Although I do not consider that any proof of the fallacy of any doctrine can be fairly drawn from the circumstance that a
celebrated character has given it up as untenable , when he has been near the close of life ; yet as some persons appear to consider this fact of importance , it may not be amiss to pay it a little attention . I am led to make this
observation , from a Calvinistic friend having observed to me , the other day , that Mr . Farmer , who wrote on the subject of the Demoniacs , &c . had changed his opinions before his death- —and the
inference intended , as I conceived , was , that the former opinions of Mr . F . appeared to himself ultiiriately to be unsound and unscriptural—I feoiiedthat I did not

Letters to a Student . Sir , April 4 , 1812 . The letters which accompany this were written with a particular view to a young gentleman , who
had been the pupil of the author , above 20 years since . If you think that they deserve attention and offer important hints for the conduct of one who is about ta enter
on a course of academical studies , for the Christian ministry , by giv , ing them a place in your Repository in succeeding numbers of it , you will meet the wishes of one ,
whose heart embraces other youth destined for the sacred character , besides him , with regard to whom they were originally drawn up , with affection and solicitude for
their future appearance in life with reputation and usefulness .
