Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gleanings by the Way By such knowledge - and this is precisely the information a preface ought to convey - they avoid the trouble of reading many a volume, which had the author been of the same mind, he might have escaped the trouble of writing. To this class of readers the preface is an important part of the book: while to those who eschew every thing of this sort, it will give but little trouble, to turn over a leaf or two to the commencement of the first chapter. We did not mean, when we began, to write a defence of prefaces - but to write a preface to our own work. The name of this volume, Gleanings By The Way, indicates the character of the work. It consists principally of thoughts gathered up - and sketches of scenery, and incidents, that came before the author during excursions made into the country at different periods, within the last four years. For several years the author has been labouring under infirm health, and has found it necessary after encountering the heavy pastoral duties and labours connected with a large city congregation for nine or ten months in succession, to retire from the scene of his ministerial duties, and seek to recruit his wasted strength and enfeebled health amid the retirement of rural life, or the diversified scenes of travel and journeying. During these seasons of relaxation, the author desired still to be engaged in something that might at least indirectly promote the interests of religion. This volume contains some of the things of which he at such seasons made a record. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
