Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Elder Abel Thornton, Late of Johnston, R. I: A Preacher in the Free-Will Baptist Connexion, and a Member of the R. I. Q. Meeting Brother Thornton, in his last sickness gave directions that after his decease his Journal should be left in the hands and at the disposal of a brother in the ministry, whom he selected. If that brother, upon examining the manuscript, should think its publication would be useful, he was to have liberty to publish it, and the profits, if any, were to be his. The brother to whom it was thus committed, not wishing to receive personal emolument from the writings and labours of another, but desiring that the work might be consecrated entirely to the cause of religion, presented it to the Rhode-Island Quarterly Meeting. The subject was submitted to a committee appointed for the purpose, who after having examined the manuscript, reported, that in their opinion, its publication would tend to the edification of the pious and to the promotion of the cause of truth. The Meeting accepted this report, and appointed another committee to superintend its publication. This committee now have the pleasure of presenting it to the subscribers and to the public. They are aware, that the work has no claims to literary excellence. To this it docs not pretend. The subject of the following Memoirs was not a favoured son of science. He did not enjoy the advantage of a public education. He was not trained up in College halls, nor was he designed by wealthy parents to fill exalted and lucrative stations in the church.
