Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Writings of Rev. William Bradford Homer: Late Pastor of the Congregational Church in South Bwerwick, Me;, With an Introductory Essay and a Memoir Soon after the subject of the following Memoir had been called from life, his friends expressed a unanimous desire that some of the fruits of his scholarship should be given to the public. The parish over which he had been ordained, and the Association of ministers with which he had been connected, testified their regard to his memory by formally requesting his sermons for the press. Candidates for the sacred office and clergymen who had but recently commenced their labors were especially earnest for the publication of his essays and discourses. It was often said that the writings of a young man are peculiarly attractive to scholars of his own age, that his excellence, whatever it be, engages more of their sympathetic interest and is therefore more readily imitated, than the excellence of a writer who is further removed from them in age and cultivation. There is sometimes an approach to perfectness in a model which discourages all attempts to equal it, and men are often less benefited by such a copy than by one which is less highly finished. Man has a tendency to imitation which cannot be entirely repressed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
