Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sermons, Vol. 1 of 2 President Dwight, in consequence of an early and permanent injury sustained by his eyes from too close application to study, was able, during no part of his ministerial life, to write out his sermons with his own hand. A few of his earlier discourses, as well as a few others prepared for occasions of peculiar interest, were written by the aid of an amanuensis; but almost all of those, which he preached before September, 1805, were delivered either extemporaneously, or from short notes. They were usually prepared in his own mind when walking, or riding, or working in his garden; and, if written at all, were drawn out in the form of a brief skeleton, during the hours immediately preceding the morning and afternoon service of the Sabbath. From that period until the close of his life, the Corporation of Yale College enabled him to employ a succession of amanuenses; through whose aid he wrote his Theology, his Travels, a considerable number of Occasional Sermons, and several other compositions which may perhaps be published hereafter. The great body of the Discourses, in the two volumes now offered to the public, were originally preached at Greenfield, and were ultimately written out at New Haven. The author, from long and habitual attention to exactness of thought, of arrangement and of language, was accustomed in conversation, in the desk, and while dictating to an amanuensis, to present the conceptions of his own mind in a form and manner so finished, as to need usually few or no corrections to prepare them for the press. This was the case with the following discourses - they are published as written down, with scarce an alteration either from the author or the editor.
