We shall now bring to a close our account of this eminent man. In the whole of the preceding narrative, we have digested in regular order all the most important sentiments and incidents which occur, in a very disjointed manner, and with much redundancy of expression, in the volume published by President Edwards.

At the end of Brainerd's Journal, he made some general remarks, in addition to others which he had occasionally introduced in the Journal and which we have printed, on the great work of which he had been the instrument among the Indians. He subjoined also an Appendix, in which he enters at large into his method of instructing the Indians, with the difficulties attending the work of a Missionary among them.

From these two pieces we shall digest the most important passages, under the following heads:—the Difficulties attending the work of a Missionary among the Indians, with his Methods of surmounting them —his System of Christian Instruction—and the Success which it pleased God to grant to his labours.

THE DIFFICULTIES OF HIS WORK.

On these difficulties he dwells at some length, at the request of the Society under which he acted. Many of them were local and peculiar, and others such as are common to all faithful labourers in the vineyard of the Lord, particularly among the Heathen.
