Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historic Americans "Historic Americans," a book containing the first four lectures printed in the present volume, was published in 1870. Later in the same year it appeared as Volume XIII of Miss Cobbe´s English edition of Parker´s works. The manuscripts were prepared for the press by the devoted labor of Parker´s literary executor, Mr. Joseph Lyman, and an introduction was furnished by Mr. O. B. Frothingham. The lectures on Franklin, Washington, Adams and Jefferson were written in the latter part of the summer of 1858, the last productive season of Parker´s hard-working life. Owing to his increasing ill-health his society had requested him to extend his usual summer vacation to six months. This he would not do, but he did not return to his duties until later than usual. He preached his last sermon on January 2d, 1859. Only two of the four lectures were delivered. Mr. Chadwick [Theodore Parker, page 849] intimates that the Washington lecture was also given, but he was deceived by the statement in Mr. Frothingham´s introduction to the original edition of "Historic Americans" that "three of them were delivered." Four years later, however, Mr. Frothingham in his Life of Parker [page 502] wrote that only the Franklin and the Adams were publicly given. Parker´s themes were well chosen.
