Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Journals of the Rev. Thomas Smith, and the Rev. Samuel Deane: Pastors of the First Church in Portland; With Notes and Biographical Notices; And a Summary History of Portland The first edition of Mr. Smith´s Journal having been exhausted, I have complied with the request of the publisher of this work, and several judicious friends, to prepare a new edition, but in which I have no pecuniary interest. This gives me an opportunity to correct some errors, which crept into the former work, and to make further extracts from scattered leaves of the original manuscript, which I have been able to obtain. In the hope of making the present edition more valuable, I have added numerous notes, explanatory of events mentioned in the Journal, and biographical notices, which I believe will contain some account of all the prominent individuals, who have been passed over our field of survey, during a period of two hundred years. And having in my possession the original Diary of Dr. Deane, the colleague and successor of Mr. Smith, kept on interleaved almanacs, from 1761, to within a month of his death, in 1814, there appeared to me a peculiar propriety, in taking from it such facts as have a general interest, so that a regular series of events, running through the lives of our first two ministers, and covering nearly a century, might be preserved. To these, I have appended memoir and portraits of their writers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
