Book Description

Excerpt from Memorials of Horatio Balch Hackett The Reverend Horatio B. Hackett, D. D., LL. D., died suddenly at his residence in Rochester, New York, on Tuesday, November 2, 1875. Funeral services took place at Rochester, on Friday, November fifth, and at Newton Centre, to which place the remains were conveyed, on Saturday, November sixth. In the addresses on these occasions, and in the notices which the event elicited from the press, from public bodies, and from individuals in this country and abroad, the intimacies and pursuits of Dr. Hackett, and the Institutions of higher education, to which he gave his services, were represented. The sentiment having early declared itself that a volume like the present should emanate from the Seminary of sacred learning which he adorned at the time of his death, it has been a pious office to collect for publication in the form in which they were paid, some of these tributes, and to employ others, together with Dr. Hackett's published works, his journals, and the personal recollections of others, and of the editor, in preparing an accompanying memoir of the life and services of their honored subject. To all whose contributions thus enter into these pages, and who have in any way advanced their compilation, sincere thanks are returned.
