A Brothers Portrait Or Memoirs Of The Late Rev William Barber PDF Download

Excerpt from A Brother's Portrait, or Memoirs of the Late Rev. William Barber, Wesleyan Missionary to the Spaniards at Gibraltar, Who Fell a Victim to the Epidemic Pestilence, Which Raged on That Rock, During the Autumn of the Year 1828: Compiled Chiefly From His Journals and Extensive Correspondence However, the above-mentioned difficulty was not the only one, which, from the natural par tiality of a relative, arrested the Compiler's attention. He considered, that, as his Object was to give afait/tful delineation of his Bro ther's character, moulded, as it was, by ordinary events and novel circumstances, by complicated afflictions and circuitous providences, and, above all, by the influence Of Divine Grace; it would be extremely difficult, if not totally impossible, to do it in his own language in such a manner, as to avoid the suspicion of being too lavish in his commendations, or too lenient in his cen sures. Hence, the best method appeared to be, to confine himself, as much as possible, to matters of fact, and those generally re lated in the words of the deceased himself; especially, as the Reader will have ah ample opportunity Of perceiving, that, in william haaber, there was but little disposition to exalt himself in the estimation of others.
