Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketch of the Life and Writings of A B. Brown The reader will find in the following pages a simple tribute from a loving pupil to the memory of a departed teacher. They have been prepared with no other motive than to embalm some of the fragrant influence, and preserve some of the solid work of an eminent Christian and scholar. To those who knew him, one of his greatest charms was his deep interest in living questions, and his incessant activity on present surroundings. As they look back, they most deeply regret that this very habit of mind prevented the employment of his pen for the instruction of the future, and makes his literary remains few and meagre in comparison with the powers of the living man. Socrates wrote nothing, yet his influence has been undying and universal, because his mantle fell upon the broad shoulders of a Plato, who was not a little helped by the unpretending memorabilia of a fellow-pupil, the practical Xenophon. If this memoir shall help to bring out a real successor, its object will have been accomplished. The volume has grown in the hands of the compiler far beyond the dimensions of her original purpose. She undertook to prepare a brief memorial for circulation among particular friends. When her intention was made known, many valuable and instructive contributions were received, which presented in different lights as many striking views of the character and life of Dr. Brown, and it has been no easy task to compress this wealth of material into reasonable limits.
