Book Description
Excerpt from Sketches of Virginia: Historical and Biographical I heard the melancholy event Sabbath, just as I was going into the court-house to preach. It' made such an impression on my mind that I could not resist the impulse to lay aside the text on which I intended to preach, and to deliver an extempore discourse, from Isaiah 40th, and 6th, And the voice said, Cry. And he said, what shall I cry? All flesh is grass.' Happy would it be for us could we constantly realize this, and live as if every year and every day were to be our last. Again, on the 17th, to the same You will be surprised to hear that Mr. Lyle and I expect to have the pleasure of taking breakfast with y6u next Tuesday morning, on our way to Richmond. Some of my friends there have so earnestly solicited me to go down since the late awful visitation of Providence on that place, that I had not the heart to refuse, I am most anxious that so much distress should not be suffered in vain. If my friends there think that thy poor labors will probably be useful 1n this way, ought I not to go at their call, and depend on the promised aid of the Spirit? I will mention to you in confidence, that the people of Richmond, who had applied to me to remove to that place, persevere in their application, and are resolved to carry their request to Presbytery and I have informed them that, if the Presbytery should advise my removal, that I will 0.

Book Description
Excerpt from A History of Williams College For the first two third of the forty years and six months which comprise the lifetime of Colonel Ephraim Williams, founder of the college, biographic materials are few and meagre. The vital records of his native town, the will of his grandfather, and an unsigned "Sketch" in the eighth volume of the "Collections" of the Massachusetts Historical Society seem to be the only available sources of information. It appears that April I, 1713, Ephraim Williams, Senior, of Newton, married Elizabeth, daughter of Abraham Jackson, a substantial and reputable townsman, and that their eldest son, Ephraim, Junior, was born March 7, 1715, or, by old style, February 24, 1714.On the 12th of April, 1718, and a few days after the birth of a second son, Thomas, Elizabeth Williams died, and her two children were practically adopted by their grandfather.

Excerpt from Foot-Prints of Roger Williams: A Biography, With Sketches of Important Events in Early New England History, With Which He Was Connected J. D. Knowles was published in 1834. It contains all the material which was to be found at that time, and is a repository of knowl edge to which all future writers on the subject must be greatly indebted. In 1846 Prof. Fill iam Gammel sent forth a Life of Roger fill iams, and in 1853 Dr. Romeo Elton followed with another, both of which are interesting por traitures of his character. But none of these are professedly written for young people, for whom especially this volume is prepared. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Art of William Blake: His Sketch-Book, His Water-Colours, His Painted Books The preparation of any work on Blake involves much study of materials accessible only through the kindness of private owners. I owe to Mr. W. A. White of Brooklyn, New York, the privilege of freely examining his collection of Blake's works, from which the principal reproductions in the present volume have been made. Without this assistance I should not have been able to get beyond a first superficial impression of Blake's characteristics as an artist, and in his case it is more than usually true that first impressions are misleading. I have to acknowledge the courtesy of the authorities of the Boston Museum in furnishing me with photographs of the water colours by Blake in their possession, and I owe to the authorities of the Metropolitan Museum a similar favour.

Book Description
Excerpt from William Painter and His Father, Dr. Edward Painter: Sketches and Reminiscences In the production of this book I have obeyed the natural impulse to preserve accounts of two benefactors of the human race, inasmuch as they were my pro genitors. My father, William Painter, and his father, Dr. Edward Painter, were endowed with great energy, although I believe that their lives were unduly shortened by overwork. Father died in his sixty-eighth year, and grandfather in his sixty-third year. Memories of them are treasured by many, and many have passed on who clasped their hands. For those who cherish such recollections and for those who did not know them personally and desire to know more of their lives, this work is com piled. In the struggles of life of the present and ou-coming generations, the very near aspects which some, including myself, possess, may become dimmed or lost lest these steps be taken. In looking over old photographs which I have zealously cared for, I. Have found that many are fading. The original negatives of a number were destroyed in the fire of 1904, and it is thus apparent that these Visual representa tions of loved faces and closed chapters, as well as biographical matter concerning them, should be given over to the arts of the engraver and printer without delay.

Book Description
Excerpt from Williams College and Foreign Missions: Biographical Sketches of Williams College Men, Who Have Rendered Special Service, to the of Foreign Missions Of the 127 persons whose biographies are given in this volume, nearly all served as missionaries in foreign fields; a few being sent under appointment of the American Board, in the earlier years of the last century, to labor among the American Indians. The whole list includes the names of three persons who rendered efficient and distinguished services to the cause of foreign missions in the important offices they held under the American or Presbyterian Board. It also properly came within the scope of the work to include sketches of all of the Men of the Haystack and of all of the first signers of the constitution of the first Missionary Society that was formed in America, although some members of these two groups did not themselves become missionaries. It has not been the purpose to treat of home missions, although Williams College sustains an important relation to that field also. The completion of 100 years since Gordon Hall began his work in India makes the present a fitting time in which to commemorate the lives of the heroic men who have done so much to introduce Christian civilization into heathen lands and have given to Williams College its chiefest distinction. It is hoped that, for a further perpetuation of their memory, a bronze tablet bearing their names may some day be placed in one of the halls of the College. The movement out of which sprang the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions was one of a series of important events which occurred about the end of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth century.
