Excerpt from The Dignity of Man: Select SermonsAfter an early and somewhat precocious liter ary graduation, and an admission to the bar by special legislation because of his legal minority, Bishop Harris followed what to a young man of spirit, surrounded as he was, became inevitable, and was a soldier in the Southern Army. He served through the war honorably, and gained a reputation for humanity and magnanimity as well as bravery. His subsequent career at the bar was almost phenomenal in its rapid success. He was eloquent, laborious, and mature and wise beyond his years, and had already reached a large practice and a large income when he gave up the certainty of professional eminence-and entered the ministry, which offered no inducements but an opportunity for self-sacrifice and devotion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
