Book Description

Excerpt from Memoirs of the Hon. Walter Lowrie The first part of this book is a personal narrative - from Edinburgh, Scotland, to Butler, Penna., 1784 to 1810. The second part relates chiefly to public serv ice - in the Legislature of Pennsylvania, the Senate of the United States, and as Secretary of the United States Senate - from 1811 to 1836. Included, accord ing to its date in 1830, is a Treatise on Divine Revela tion, presumably from Mr. Lowrie's pen. The third, and chief, part is based largely on the writings of Mr. Lowrie - reports, journals and correspondence and also on personal interviews and conversations with him as the Corresponding Secretary for thirty years of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America.
