THE REV. HENRY MARTYN, B. D. FELLOW OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE, EAST INDIA COMPANY. SEELEY, BURNSIDE, AND SEELEY: MDCCCXLIV. MANY years after the publication of Mr. Martyn's Life, a most valuable and peculiarly interesting series of letters, received from him in the course of a correspondence extending over seven years, was bequeathed to his biographer by the lady to whom the letters were addressed. These, with many others to Mr. Brown, Mr. Corrie, and other friends, were included in the publication of Letters and Journals,' which took place, in two volumes, octavo, in the year 1837. It has since appeared the most desirable course, to collect the whole of his CORRESPONDENCE into a single volume, while his LIFE is at the same time enriched by fresh selections from his Diary. Thus, in two portable volumes, the public will have the whole delineation of his character, depicted by himself in the most natural and simple manner. A few sketches are also added, of the principal scenes amidst which his life was passed. |
