Genealogical account of the Barclays of Urie

PREFACE.
i
r | ^HE following little work contains so
many curious anecdotes relative to
the celebrated Apologist of the Quakers,
that, by giving it a greater degree of pub-
licity, I trust I shall render an acceptable
service to the literary world, and particu-
larly to that respectable class of Christians
whose cause he defended with such zeal,
and whose tenets he explained with such
ability, as to convert into an appellation
of honourable distinction what was in-
tended by their calumniators as a stigma
of reproach.
