| General note | "To the reader. Mr. Rush's extracts contain the pure and genuine principles on which all civil and religious liberty depends ... The reader is requested to consider these extracts as containing my own principles, during the present corrupt state of things ... The other pieces are of my own composition, and selection; all of which affect me either directly, or indirectly ..."--p. [2]. |

| General note | "Elegant extract."--p. [35]. |
| General note | "To the public. As I am selling this pamphlet for a living, at present, no person can be allowed more than ten minutes reading, to know whether to purchase it, or not ... A majority of those printers who have employed me in their offices, have not rewarded me according to my merit, through the intrigues of my enemies: which circumstance sometimes inclines me to learn another business, though I am near 42 years of age. If these pieces any way contribute to the assistance of a few people, in the ways of practical godliness and holiness, I should not think it lost labor."--p. [36]. |
