Book Description

Excerpt from George W. Eaton, D.D., LL. D: A Memorial When, in 1872, the subject of this Memorial passed to his heavenly home, it was thought, and probably expected, that, in a short time, a volume, giving account of his life, his work, and his personality, would be prepared by some member of his immediate family. All his children were then living, and abundant material seemed at hand. But, when search was made for literary remains, it was found that, with the exception of two addresses and the two sermons which are given here, nothing of permanent value was available. Large quantities of manuscripts were turned over, but they were only scraps. Nothing was complete. His habits of thought were his own. After the merest suggestion of a theme, immediately committed to paper, he seemed to need nothing else. The subject entered into his thinking in such a way that further writing was needless. He was ready when the occasion came. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
