Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from October Leaves
From a pile of manuscripts, consisting of addresses, lectures, homilies, and articles for reviews and journals, the following selections are severed from conventional adaptations to occa sions. They have been written in a professional life of more than sixty years, pursued with un ambitious aims, with no zeal for sectarian exten sion, and with few interruptions by annoying superficial activities. An old age of leisure and good health has given prolonged opportunities for studies in sacred letters, which have always been my occupation and delight. As I am now far advanced in the October of my life, I may call these few pages a little bunch of October.
