Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Thoughts of John Foster Opinions respecting Foster. - Introducing Foster to the church at Frome, Robert Hall says: "His manner is not very popular, but his conceptions arc most extraordinary and original; his disposition very amiable, his piety unquestionable, and his sentiments moderately orthodox - about the level of Watts and Doddridge." In another communication to the same church, he pronounces him a "young man of the most extraordinary genius." At a later period he said of Foster´s writings, " They are like a great lumber-wagon loaded with gold." The eminent American reviewer of his "Life and Correspondence," ranking him with Hall,says: "Of the English minds that have departed from our world within a few years, none have excited a deeper interest, or wielded for a season a loftier power, than John Foster and Robert Hall." And Harris, the distinguished author of "Prize Essays," reviewing the same work, says: "He will retain the reputation of gifts that have rarely fallen to the lot of mortals." Foster´s life in cheap form a desideratum. - This volume furnishes a life of this extraordinary man in an available form for general circulation; combines the principal events and incidents of his external history in one complete panoramic view; and embraces an estimate of his intellectual, literary, and religious character, illustrated from his own writings. The most remarkable passages of Foster´s writings, collected and classified for convenience of reference and use. - In glancing over a page or volume of any writer, the eye rests with ravished attention upon the luminous points of thought, brilliant sentences or paragraphs, as a connoisseur of taste dwells upon particular features of a landscape, or lines of a painting. These more remarkable passages we have carefully collected from the whole range of Foster´s published writings (including those not yet issued from the American press), as a sort of memorabilia of his wonderful genius, character, and sentiments.
