Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Spencer H. Cone The life of Spencer Houghton Cone must speak for itself. In attempting some account of it, we expressly recognize that a better, a more complete history, survives in its effect upon the country and times in which he lived, than can be given in the mere verbal record of particular actions. It has been our aim to tell with simplicity and truth the story of his life. It was a life of action, and one full of good purposes, many of which he lived to see brought to a happy issue. To narrate its events, and with such clearness and fidelity as our capacity allowed - present also his views of Christian duty, doctrine, discipline and practice - has been our only thought. We could bring to the work no skill or cunning of authorship, and could devote to it only such leisure as the brief intervals of business allowed. Many kind and able hands have been extended to aid us, however, and we please ourselves with the hope that their contributions will more than supply our deficiencies. His letters have been submitted to us, with very general kindness and promptitude; and the extracts made from them, and from his public addresses will be found, we think, to express unmistakably his sentiments and feelings upon every important point. To these, many of his "brethren beloved in the Lord," have added their testimony, and described those events and characteristics, with which they were more particularly acquainted, with a warmth and eloquence it would scarcely have become us to use, had we been able to do so. Their love and goodness will be gratefully remembered whilst memory lasts. In some parts of the narrative it has been impossible to observe a strict chronological order. Many of the benevolent enterprises in which he was active were going forward at one time; whilst clearness required that they should be treated of successively. Some repetitions may also be observed. These, it will be seen we think, were in most cases also unavoidable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
