Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Writings of St. John An affecting interest is given to this treatise on the life, character, and writings of St. John, in consequence of the death of its author while these sheets were passing through the press. I am not able to reckon Dr. Macdonald among my own personal American friends. I never had the pleasure of meeting him on either side of the Atlantic: but a slight biographical notice, which has been placed in my hands, enables me to furnish the following particulars. Descended from a family in the north of Ireland, and, more remotely, drawing his origin from the west of Scotland (these two parts of our coast have been associated together by many romantic and historical incidents, and the name "Macdonald" has a well known place in such recollections), and himself born and bred in the midst of the Puritanism of New England, the writer of this book united in his character two elements of strength, which showed themselves, throughout his career, in a vigorous and resolute habit of mind. His father, a man of mark both as an enterprising merchant and as a general in command of troops during the war of 1812, on his deathbed dedicated this son, then a boy of only fourteen, to the Ministry of the Gospel. The youth "appears never to have lost sight of this dying charge, and very soon set himself in earnest to fulfil it"; and his character was from the first and throughout in harmony with the calling thus accepted.
