Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of the Rev. Henry Montgomery, LL. D., Dunmurry, Belfast, Vol. 1 of 2: With Selections From His Speeches and Writings The distinguished place where talents and labours of Dr. Montgomery secured for him in public estimation, his intimate association with the progress of Civil and Religious Liberty in Ireland for more than half-a-century, and his eminent personal qualities, have caused a natural desire on the part of many friends to possess a record of his life. To meet this desire was the original purpose of this work. The Author´s connexion with the family of Dr. Montgomery, his intimacy with him during his latter years, and his having come into possession of his voluminous papers, as well as being a minister of the same church, have induced him to undertake the duty of preparing his life - a duty pressed upon him by many whose opinion he valued. It is to be regretted that an interval of nine years should have elapsed from the date of Dr. Montgomery´s death till the publication of this volume; but circumstances beyond the Author´s control have prevented him, until recently, from entering on its preparation, and many unavoidable causes have hitherto delayed its completion. The task was one of no ordinary magnitude, and the needed leisure for its fulfilment only such as could be spared from professional engagements. The miscellaneous literary accumulation of a public life of nearly sixty years, entirely unprepared for the press, required in itself a considerable period for selection and arrangement; while as to information from external sources, those ever active harvest-men - Time and Death - had been meanwhile so busy, that the gleanings in the field of Dr. Montgomery´s earlier life, of those personal traits and reminiscences that add so materially to the interest of biography, have been necessarily few and brief. Another generation has arisen, "which knew not Joseph." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
