Book Description

Excerpt from Charles Lowder: A Biography "I call a man remarkable," Carlyle says, "who becomes a true workman in this vineyard of the Highest." If this be so, Charles Lowder was certainly one of the most remarkable men among those who have lately passed away. "His work has made 'Lowder' and 'St. Peter's, London Docks' household words in this our Western land," were the words of Dean Stansbury, of New Jersey, in a sermon preached soon after that work was ended by death. It is hardly necessary to say that his life has been written by the wish of his brother and his sisters, without whose generous confidence the task would have been an impossible one.
