      reviewer of the Testament m question , ( published full three years ago ) that there certainly was no direction given to , or preparation made by Mr . Evanson , or any of

      his relatives- ^ for the editor of that volume , or the worthy gentleman , who , though a personal stranger to Mr . E . generously undertook the expense of printing it , &c . with a kind desire and wish to
