This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Samuel Wylie was born on May 21, 1773, in Moylarg, County Antrim, Ireland, the son of Adam and Margaret (Brown) Wylie.
His father was a farmer of some means, and the boy was given the rudiments of a sound classical education. Thus equipped, he entered the University of Glasgow, where he distinguished himself as a student and in 1797 was awarded the degree of master of arts.
He then secured a teaching position in Ballymena, Ireland, but in a few months his connection with efforts in behalf of Irish independence made it expedient for him, in company with others, to leave the country. In the latter part of 1797 he arrived in Philadelphia, where the most of his remaining life was spent and where he rose to prominence in educational and religious circles. His first teaching was in a school at Cheltenham, a nearby town. In 1798 he was appointed instructor in the grammar school of the University of Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, he studied theology under the Rev. William Gibson and was licensed to preach by the Reformed Presbytery on June 24, 1799. The following year, June 25, he was ordained at Ryegate, Vt. , being, it is said, the first Covenanter to receive ordination in America. He immediately made a tour of the South as one of a commission appointed to see that the edict of the Reformed Presbyterian Church forbidding its members to hold slaves was obeyed. In 1802 he was sent by his denomination as a delegate to the sister churches in Scotland and Ireland. He and his companions had formed a congregation soon after their arrival in Philadelphia, and on November 20, 1803, he was installed as its pastor. Under his leadership, which terminated only with his death, this body developed into a large church. His educational work went on with little interruption, however. When the Presbytery established a theological seminary in Philadelphia in 1810, he was appointed professor and served until 1817; he was reelected in 1823 and resigned in 1828. In that year he became professor of Latin and Greek in the University of Pennsylvania and held that position until 1845, when he was made professor emeritus; from 1836 to 1845 he was also vice-provost.
Wylie was also the author of "The Faithful Ministry of Magistracy and Ministry upon a Scriptural Basis" (Philadelphia, 1804), a Greek grammar (1838), "Life of Alexander McLeod" (1855) and several sermons.
Samuel Brown Wylie died on October 13, 1852, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
