A Discourse Delivered By Appointment Of The Right Reverend Horatio Potter PDF Download

Excerpt from A Discourse: Delivered by Appointment of the Right Reverend Horatio Potter, D. D., Bishop of New York, at the Church of the Annunciation, City of New York, on the 25th Day of June, A. D., 1873 The following Discourse was left in my hands by its lamented author in July last, with a note suggesting that if published it should be accompanied by an appendix containing copies of the various resolutions passed in relation to the subject of it. The author had before conversed with me in regard to the publication of the Discourse, and had expressed his willingness that this disposition should be made of it. So far as we could learn, there was a decided conviction on the part of those who had heard it, that it ought to be published. The doubt was as to the quarter from which such publication should proceed. Under the circumstances it has seemed to the members of Dr. Seabury's family that they would pay only a proper respect both to the subject and to the author of the Discourse, by causing to be printed a number of copies sufficient for distribution among those who might be interested to receive them. While this conclusion was being reached, and preliminary arrangements were he mg made, and while I promised myself the pleasure of conference with the author upon several matters suggested by his Discourse, he was called to follow the friend whom in his last act of public interest he had so lovingly commemorated: an event calculated to give additional value to pages which already must have been doubly interesting to those who knew and appreciated both of these venerable men, since the memoir, while a picture of its subject, is in some characteristic particulars a remarkable and happy reflection of its author, who ail-innocently embalmed himself in the tomb which his loving kindness wrought out for his friend.
