Having been requested by the publisher {London: Alfred Holness} to carefully revise the valuable work of the late Dr. Davis, I have pleasure in doing so.
I know of no work of a similar kind. The subjects treated of cover a wide and interesting circle of truth, and are of commanding interest, while the gracious spirit, so characteristic of the author, pervades the whole book. Dr. Davis possessed in no ordinary degree the faculty of communicating his thoughts, whether in oral or written ministry, with remarkable clearness and unction; and the Christian reader may rest assured that Aids to Believers is a book which may be read with much profit to himself and others.
We are glad to see that the Publisher has also issued the work in five separate papers, which will no doubt be appreciated by many.
