Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Labors of the Late Rev. William Stevens Balch: With an Outline of His Writings and Discourses In presenting the record of the personal history of the Rev. William S. Balch, and selecting and arranging events and incidents for holding up the mirror of the deeds of him whom we seek to bring prominently to your notice, that others may be induced to follow his example and feel the influence of his many virtues, it will be the aim, as far as possible, to let the subject of this memoir speak for himself. We have found ourselves chiefly encouraged in these labors from the fact that his was a life uncommonly eventful, and from the great number of stirring incidents and occurrences calculated to enhance the intrinsic value of the volume. His friendly suggestions of wisdom, strung like pearls through all his writings, calculated to arrest every class of minds and awaken them to the vast importance of virtuous living, is what must make this work dearer to the reader than aught else beside. We would not speak in any strain of studied eulogy, and may not claim for any person on earth that he is perfect, for perfection does not belong to this world. It is but justly due that I should, before passing, express my most sincere and unfeigned thanks for the varied assistance rendered me by many friends who have kindly aided me in my work. I much value the words of the one dearest to me (now passed to the spirit home), who in her absence writing me, says: "I am sure if you could gather the inspiration to do justice to so good a man, you have no need to go farther to write up one of the grandest lives the world has ever witnessed. You have almost worshiped him, and your fault is likely to be the coloring of the picture. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
