Excerpt from Lives of the Apostles of Jesus Christ In every change of diversified occupation, since the first production of this work, the author' has made it his constant effort to discover its imperfections, and correct its errors. Hoping continually to be able to resume its publication, he has, with unceasing solicitude and ever-freshening interest, labored to make it more worthy of the favor of the learned and the public, and of the solemn importance of the subject. It has still been what it was during' its composition, -a source of enjoyment and benefit that can hardly be expressed. The labor of comparing its statements and opinions with those of revelation has been productive of advantage to him, equal to any that can ever be derived from it by the most favored reader, The conviction and feeling of the honesty, beauty, and perfection of the sacred record, from which its facts have been mostly drawn, have deepened as he has searched again and again for hidden or neglected, historic truths. No new pursuit has approached it in interest, or excluded it wholly from meditation. His happiest days. Have been passed in these studies, and every other occupation has seemed tedious and tri¿ing in comparison with' them. They have been the solace of care, the refreshment of a toil-worn mind, the inspiration of other and uncongenial efforts, a consolation in travel, and a companionship in many solitudes. They most pre maturely began in youth, and have been gratefully renewed in manhood, through every change of scene, in this and other lands, amid the throng of the city, over the wide ocean, on torrid shores, on missionary ground, and on the borders of the Great Desert.
