Excerpt from The Life of Archibald Alexander, D. D., LL. D: First Professor in the Theological Seminary, at Princeton, New JerseyIn those parts which are made up from his manu script records, I have once or twice allowed myself, rather than mutilate his account, to repeat the same events and opinions, as expressed by him in different connections. In some few instances, I have been con strained to return to topics already treated and appa rently dismissed, thus disturbing the arrangement, because new matter on these points came in while the book was going through the press. The excellent steel engraving which accompanies these pages is from the best representations which'art has been able to produce. But it ought to be added, that no like ness has been other than a failure, in respect to the animation of his features and the liquid brilliancy of his eye.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
