Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Eulogy on the Rev. Joseph McKean, D. D. LL. D., Boylston Professor of Rhetorick and Oratory: Delivered Before the University, Cambridge, April 22, 1818
Such were the life, talents, and virtues of the man, whose death has filled us with grief and hea viness. To the bereaved mourners we tender our unavailing sympathies; divine consolations alone can sustain them under this burden of sorrow. Their grief is too sacred to be approached from this place. We affectionately commend them to that Being, who can turn present chastisements into eventual blessings.
