Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Chauncey Giles: As Told in His Diary and Correspondence The one essential to the achievement of success in the workmanship of this biography to which the editor can lay claim is her deep affection for its subject. Experiences and materials gradually came into her life, and at length germinated in the determination to bring a knowledge of her fathers character as clearly as possible before those who already know him, and to others who know him not. Friends both at home and abroad have been very helpful in lending letters which they have cherished for years. Those who could furnish information have done so with a kindness that is much appreciated; others whose advice has been sought in times of indecision, have given it with a cordial sympathy which was in itself very inspiring. Mr. Giles´s diary and letters are in themselves a fairly complete biography. Gleanings from the "Giles Memorial" and the "Groton-Avery Clan," in addition to information from older relatives, have furnished the genealogical data. For the portions relating to Church History, "The Early History of the New Church in the Western States and Canada," by Rev. G. M. Field; Rev. B. F. Barrett´s "Autobiography"; Odhner´s "Annals of the New Church"; Hindmarsh´s "Rise and Progress of the New Jerusalem Church in England, America and Other Parts"; the "Outline History of the New Jerusalem Church of Cincinnati": a similar brief history of the New York Society; Convention Journals, and numerous articles in the New Church Messenger have contributed valuable material. From the Rev. William L. Worcester´s "Biographical Sketch" die editor has also drawn for items not obtainable elsewhere. For each and every one of these helps the deepest gratitude is felt, and it is with heartfelt pleasure that the thanks due to all are given.
