Excerpt from The Life of Rev. Martin CheneyBut what is written' is written. It has been the aim not to glorify Mr: icheney, not to say every thing about him that could' be recollected or learned, not even to record the 'whole( or the half of the striking things which he may have said or done, or which were otherwise connected with his life, but to present, withina reasonable compass, what ever was essential to give a just and distinct view of the man, in his character andiin his life. The facts chosen are selected as'much for'the purpose of exemplifying the general factsof his history, as of presenting, in bold relief, apoint in] his character, And in calling from his writlngs, an attenipt has only'been made to show what he taught in principle, rather' than what he taught in amount, and to represent how he taught in general, rather than what his - method was in every specific instance of his teaching. From a bushel of manuscripts, and' the pers'onal recollection of a thousand friends, it would have been easy to make a larger book, but it would not necessarily have answered the real purpose better than this. A' small. Daguerreotype, true to the original, is better than a life-size portrait, whose chief merit were to consist in its being just as tall as the man.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
