Book Description

Excerpt from Memoir of the Rev. Cotton Mather, D. D: With a Genealogy of the Family of Mather Dr. Colman speaks in the highest terms of Dr. Mather, in his Funeral Sermon. His printed works, he says, will not convey to posterity, nor give to strangers a just idea of the real worth and great learning of the man. To this and a great deal more equally commendatory, Mr. Prince subscribes in these words: Every one who intimately knew the Doctor will readily assent to this description.
