Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Hon. Walter Lowrie The first part of this book is a personal narrative - from Edinburgh, Scotland, to Butler, Penna., 1784 to 1810. The second part relates chiefly to public service in the Legislature of Pennsylvania, the Senate of the United States, and as Secretary of the United States Senate from 1811 to 1836. Included, according to its date in 1830, is a Treatise on Divine Revelation, presumably from Mr. Lowrie´s pen. The third, and chief, part is based largely on the writings of Mr. Lowrie - reports, journals and correspondence; and also on personal interviews and conversations with him as the Corresponding Secretary for thirty years of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America. Referring to Dr. Ashbel Green´s History of Presbyterian Missions, 1741 to 1838, page viii., where a second volume of the History is adverted to, these Memoirs do not take its place. For a complete history, an immense number of letters on file in the Mission House would require examination. The plan of this book implies, however, a full acquaintance with the proceedings of the Executive Committee, to be referred to so far as may be expedient.
