Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoir of Rev. Nathaniel Colver, D.D: With Lectures, Plans of Sermons, Etc At the time of the great Chicago fire, this book was mainly written; the manuscript, with the exception of a few of the chapters, was in the hands of the printer, and nearly one half of the whole volume had been stereotyped. All this, including the manuscript, was of course destroyed; of the printed portions not even the proofs having been preserved. Various causes have delayed the reproduction of what was lost. At length it is given to the public, though with a painful consciousness of many faults in the work, and with the single hope that in the attractions of the topic and the honest intention of the writer some compensation for these may be found. The names of those to whom I am indebted for material appear in the course of the narrative, and need not be repeated here. I beg them all to receive the assurance of my cordial appreciation of the excellent aid they have afforded me. The biography of an active public man, so active as to have kept little or no record of his own life, and so careless of all save the work he was doing as to have given almost no attention whatever to the preserving of such current chronicles as might aid one in adjusting the incidents of his career, with only scraps of correspondence, even, to be made available - is a difficult thing to write. Save with the help I have had, I do not see how it could, in this case, have been done at all; and even with such help the difficulties have been manifold.
