Description

Excerpt from Sketches of the Life and Character of the Rev. Lemuel Haynes, A. M., For Many Years Pastor of a Church in Rutland, Vt;, And Late in Granville, New-York The subject of the following Memoir having left among his writings but very limited materials for his biography, the principal facts have been collected by correspondence and personal application. Some scores of individuals have been thus consulted. For their prompt attention to the inquiries of the author they will accept his grateful acknowledgments. Materials have been collected, and the book written, under the pressure of professional labours, during the progress of a pre cious work of God's Spirit in his own congregation and in neighbouring churches. This is his apology for the unexpected delay of the publication, and for inaccura cies which time and leisure might have corrected. The book goes forth with but few of those attractions which usually command attention. The style is without orna ment. The subject of the Memoir was in humble life, with no adventitious circumstances of rank, wealth, or family to recommend him to special notice. There is, however, one redeeming circumstance. The acute Andrew Fuller remarks, That in attending to written lives, those narratives should be selected which repre sent persons who were distinguished by unerring wisviii preface.
