Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Life and Times of Rev. Robert Dobbins: To Which Is Appended Biographical Sketches of Revs; J. W. Ragan and W. L. Dunlap
We now come, with a willing hand and a subdued heart, to rear this little monument to the memory of mental and moral worth. At present it lies in silent majesty before us. We simply desire to lift it up, if we can. It is a granite shaft, incomplete in detail, it may be, for some of its finest relief-work has been so far obliterated by the hand of time that no human eye may see it; but the light of the coming future will bring out the hidden characters, and reveal the perfection of outline, with all its details, in the full blaze and brilliancy of the throne.
We send this volume forth with a like ness engraved from an ambrotype, taken under the author's supervision, with the hope that it may quicken our exertions, elevate our affections, and be a guiding star, subsidiary to the peerless page of Inspiration, until we are together brought to the enjoyment of the favor and fruition of God.
