The Reminiscences Of Bishop Chase Volume 2 PDF Download

Excerpt from Bishop Chase's Reminiscences an Autobiography, Vol. 1 of 2: Second Edition: Comprising a History of the Principal Events in the Author's Life to A. D. 1847 With a Pertraet and Four Engravings As the work progressed, it changed somewhat its charac ter. From being simple reminiscences, in which memory served to guide him alone, he had resort to records which were preserved of the later periods of his life. In matters where his own character was concerned, he has been more careful to state facts than to draw conclusions. A large part of this work consists of correspondence. His own letters to his wife form a diary of events as they occur red, and a record of impressions as they were made at the time. Those extracts which he is permitted to give of the letters of his English friends, he considers will give a perma nent character and value to the book. Replete with pious sentiments. Their fragrance will not die. If any part of the work seems to the reader to be occupied with matters not generally made public, let him remember that the writer has ever relied upon his Openness, and the freedom with which he has communicated information concerning his public acts, as well as other testimonies of honesty, to neutralize the evil designs of those who would (had they the power) injure him in the estimation of good men.
