Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from In Memoriam of the Rev. John Kendrick Converse, Former Pastor of the First Congregational Church, Principal of the Burlington Female Seminary, Etc., Etc
Miss converse, daughter of the late Rev. John K. Con verse, is prepared to publish a brief memoir of her hon ored father, and she asks me to write a few paragraphs by way of introduction to what She has to say concerning him, wishing me at the same time to give my estimate of his Christian and ministerial character. Though my acquaint ance with Mr. Converse, who was by several years my junior, Was never very close or intimate, it extended through a greater number of, years, I think, than that of any other minister in the vicinity; and it is on this ground especially, as I imagine, that her request has been made. In View of the esteem in which I have always held Mr. Converse, and of the respect due to his surviving family, I have not' felt it to be my duty to decline the task which I have been asked to undertake.
