Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Autobiography of the First Forty-One Years of the Life of Sylvanus Cobb, to Which Is Added a Memoir In presenting this autobiography to the public, it seems appropriate that I should, in this place, offer a few remarks touching the character of the work, and the circumstances under which it was written. The idea of writing his autobiography did not originate with Mr. Cobb. After he had retired from the editorial chair, and had rested awhile from the arduous and wearing labor of producing the, "Commentary on the New Testament," his twin sons, Cyrus and Darius, seeing that his strength was failing, and that he needed some healthful occupation of mind, suggested to him that he should write a history of his life, urging, in addition to its value as a biography, the important contribution it would afford to the history of Universalism in this country; and that he might feel no delicacy in prosecuting the work, they proposed themselves to assume the responsibility of its publication. The suggestion pleased him, and he forthwith set about the work; not taking hold of it as a stated labor, but rather as a source of mental recreation.
