Book Description

Excerpt from Memoirs of the Rev. David Stoner: Containing Copious Extracts From His Diary and Epistolary Correspondence From Mr. Stoner's manuscripts the compilers proceeded to make such a selection as they deemed most suitable to their purpose, and also applied to many of his friends in different parts of the country for facts, letters, or other communications. They soon found themselves placed under very agreeable obligations; for their applications were immediately met with a cheerfulness and confidence, which they beg most affectionately to acknowledge. The names of their esteemed correspondents-with one or two exceptions, where secrecy was desired - will appear in con nexion with their contributions; and if this work be at all calculated to accomplish the important objects for which it is prepared, it will undoubtedly prove a source of much satisfaction to those who have thus promoted its compila tion, that to their kind attention and assistance no small part of its worth is justly attributable.
