Entered according to the Act of Congress, in the year 1864, by WM. L. HILDEBURN, Treasurer, in trust for the Presbyterian Publication Committee, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States, for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. J. FAGAN AND SON, STEREOTYPE FOUNDERS, PHILADELPHIA. EDITOR'S PREFACE. THE Committee have much satisfaction in bringing within the reach of the churches a new edition of Dr. Hall's admirable work on "The Law of Baptism." Originally written for the defence of the truth in the author's congregation, and published at their desire, the work met with an unlooked for demand, and was stereotyped and widely circulated. The book being out of print, and the plates destroyed by fire (or lost), the author has presented the copyright of the work to the Presbyterian Publication Committee, by whom it has been stereotyped and issued in the present form, after revision and emendation by the author.
