Publisher's Synopsis
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
It is With unaffected pleasure that I avail myself of the present opportunity to express my grateful appreciation of the labours of the author in the work committed to him. These, as well as the loving spirit with which they were performed, challenge my grati tude and admiration, and have increased the respectful affection which I have always entertained for him. While I say this, how ever, I trust that I shall not appear to pass the bounds of propriety, if I add that there are some passages in the Discourse which appear to me to have been based upon a misunderstanding of the position of the subject of it. I feel the less hesitation in saying this here, because after the Discourse was delivered I said as much to the author, who in one particular modified his expressions in such a way as to avoid an inference, which, as he saw when it was pointed out to him, might have been drawn to a disparagement which he was far from intending.
