Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

William Sherlock lived in an age of political destiny and religious
dissent which saw the decline of the British monarchy and the rise
of parliamentary government, but also the Plague, the Great Fire of
London, and the worst defeat in Royal Navy history. In spite of
becoming involved in several well-known controversies, Sherlock was
considered one of the most popular theological writers of the
century. He was twice put out of holy office for political reasons.
During one of these times of reflection, Sherlock set himself to
writing his treatise on death, his best known work. He writes: "I
know no other Preparation for Death, but living well: And thus we
must every Day prepare for Death, and then we shall be well
prepared when Death comes; that is, we shall be able to give a good
Account of our Lives, and of the Improvement of our Talents; and he
who can do this, is well prepared to die . . . ."
