Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In view of my close and intimate association with Dr. Wilson, a friendship begun in my student days and extending over a period of more than a quarter of a century, it was thought appropriate that I should prepare these articles for the press. I have counted it a privi lege to help in this way to make the writings of a great defender of the faith more widely known. I have had the advantage of access to copies of these articles which contained Dr. Wilson's notes, com ments and corrections. It has not been possible to use all of this material, and certain further changes have also seemed advisable. It has been my aim however to make only such changes as I felt sure that he himself would have approved. Thanks are due to Rev. Les lie W. Sloat, one of the last students privileged to study under Dr. Wilson, for help in preparing the copy for the press, and for assist ance in proof reading. Mr. Sloat has also prepared the index.
