Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes Made During an Excursion to the Highlands of New-Hampshire: And Lake Winnipiseogee
This Institution is constantly furnishing the public with able preachers. I could name one, and he not the only one, who has the superlative art of blending ethical and theological subjects, so skilfully as to make deeper impressions than probably either would, separately treated. His labor is in ratiocination hls relaxation in Wit. From profound abstraction, he rises to a ready popular display of impressive moral truths. His style bears the impress of originality it may exhibit the thoughts of others; but it is with examples and illustrations furnished by observa tion on life. Hence he has no paragraphs which look like accidental patches; and though not new, every idea so perfectly belongs to the subject, as to make the whole consistent and novel. His style is likewise correct with out being labored; impressive without being pointed, and' variegated without deviating from simplicity.

It was impossible not to admire the expression, while we.deeply felt the force and justness of the sentiments. When we read a Rambler.
