PREFACE.
It would have gratified me had this memoir of Dr.Elmslie been placed, at an earlier date, in the hands ofhis friends; but circumstances, that need not be recordedhere, caused delay.
An earnest desire was expressed that it should bepublished, at the latest, by Christmas; and, in meetingthis wish, I have found it impossible to afford Mrs.Elmslie, who is in India, an opportunity of revising thework,–to the value of which she has contributedlargely,–prior to its publication; and so I regard myselfas responsible for the selection and setting of thematter it contains.
I owe thanks to those who have sent me reminiscencesof Dr. Elmslie, or who have accommodated mewith the use of letters which they received from him.
I trust this brief memoir of a manly, earnest student;a dutiful son; a devoted medical missionary; and a true,steadfast friend, may be blessed to do good, in answerto the much prayer that has accompanied its preparation.
