Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoir of the Rev. John Stanford, D. D: Late Chaplain to the Humane and Criminal Institutions in the City of New-York If to enlighten and affect the human mind be one means appointed by heaven to promote the moral interests of mankind, then it cannot but be an acceptable service, to spread before the world the history of those who, by uniform and exalted piety, have exemplified the sanctifying power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. By so doing, we multiply the motives to a holy life, and embalm the memory of the just. "Let their mem´ry shine, In glories that survive their living days, As od´rous scents outlast the censer´s blaze." A desire to remember and to be remembered, is a principle inseparable from the nature of man; and this feeling has not unfrequently been sanctified to the improvement and pleasure of those who have had sense and good taste sufficient to prefer the narrative dictated by truth, to works of mere imagination.
