The author says, 'having been an eyewitness of many of the tragical passages of Providence, and exercised with a share of the many calamities that befel his countrymen, abroad in the wilderness and upon the sea, was the more capable to give an account of particulars relating to the design of Caledonia; and what passages he did not see himself, these he relates as he had them delivered by credible persons, who were eyewitnesses of them when they occurred; and the author being the only person of all the ministers who were sent abroad upon the service of Caledonia, that lived to return to his native country., (The other surviving minister was the Rev. Archibald Stobo, who settled at Charles Town in Carolina.)
