Book Description
Excerpt from Sketches of the Life and Extracts From the Journals, and Other Writings, of the Late Joseph Croswell: Who, for More Than Forty Years, Was an Itinerant Preacher in the New England States, and Who Died at Bridgewater, Mass; May, 1799, in the 88th Year of His Age He had contemplated a much larger work for publication, but was deterred from the undertaking from apprehension that the sale might not meet the expense of printing, and other necessary expenses. The object, however, is not Wholly abandoned. Should this publication be saleable, and meet the patronage of the religious public, the Compiler may be induced to make a iarger and more methodical selection for the press, from the au thor's manuscripts. In making these selections the writer was pos sessed of buta small portion of Mr. Croswell's manuscript papers, which, gener ally, consist of loose and separate pieces. This circumstance rendered it difficult to preserve in the Sketches, 8m. Now pub lished, much connexion or method. Nor was this the leading object of the writer but to exhibit general characteristic traits of the author, and his talents for composition, with the hope of being, in some measure, instrumental of promoting the cause of evangelical truth and experimental religion.
