Excerpt from Writings of Rev. William Bradford Homer: Late Pastor of the Congregational Church in South Bwerwick, Me, , With an Introductory Essay and a Memoir
So numerous were the personal friends of the subject of the following Memoir, and especially of his late honored father, that an edition of twelve hundred and fifty copies of his Writings was soon exhausted, and the volume has been out of print for some years. There has been such a demand for it, however, as to justify the issue of a second edition. The editor regrets, that his health and avocations have rendered it impossible for him to make those alterations in the volume which he deemed desirable. He has omitted the Abstracts and Notes on the Classics, also the Plans of some of Mr. Homer's unpublished doctrinal discourses, which appeared in the first edition, has inserted a few additional sentences in the Memoir, a Sketch of the Character of Mr. Homer's father, and an Introductory Essay, but in other respects has been compelled to make the second issue a simple reprint of the first. The Introductory Essay has been inserted at the instance of friends, who thought that a discussion of the religious in¿u ence of Theological Seminaries might be fitly prefixed to the writings of one who had been educated, to an unusual extent, aloof from the family circle, at public institutions of learning, and the most important part of whose life was spent at a school of the prophets.
