Excerpt from History of the Baptists in MaineSpecial mention should be made of the service ren dered by Rev. E. C. Whittemore, D. D., of Waterville, in the preparation of the illustrations which are scattered throughout the volume. Much time has been given by him to this part of the work, and the very great excellence of the illustrations will readily be acknowledged. We are confident that Dr. Whittemore's faithful, intelligent ser vice will be greatly appreciated by all of our readers. Portraits of many who have been prominent in making Baptist history in Maine will be missed, but only a limited number could be selected, and it was decided to find a place only for those who are no longer with us. The publishing committee of the Convention decided that the frontispiece should be a portrait of the author.Since the chapter on Colby College was printed, Mrs. Eliza A. (foss) Dexter of Worcester, Mass, has made a gift to the college of a woman's dormitory, not to cost more than and to be known as Foss Hall. As mention of this generous gift could not otherwise be made in this volume, it is made here. The gift is one that means much to the giver and to the young women of her native State.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
