Publisher's note:

George Lawson (1749-1820) was for forty-nine years the minister of the Scottish Secession church in Selkirk. He became renowned as a writer alongside his preaching and this volume is drawn from his lectures through Ruth. This readable treatment principally applies the narrative to family relationships and, though a little dated in places, has much to say to Christians in our day.
