Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Memoir of John Finch Marsh, of Croydon, Who Died in the Autumn of 1873
This search commenced at the desire of the friends (appointed by our monthly meeting to prepare a testi mony concerning him) that we would furnish them with some account of his early life, &c. But here the query arose, whether some selection from these writings should be prepared in addition to the closing scene. And inwardly becoming sensible of a gentle and clear pointing that a little work of this kind was to devolve on me, I did not feel my way clear to return to the engagements of home until it was ready for the press. And although I regret to add to the great store of books already on our shelves, I believe I should fail in my duty to survivors if I were to neglect thus to revive his memory, - not for his sake - but for the sake of that testimony to Truth which was given him when young, and lived in his heart to his latest days. And though I feel a most precious unity with his spirit, I forbear to say much concerning him, preferring that his heart should be unveiled by his own words.
