Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Of the Rev. Robert Finley, D.D., Late Pastor of the Presbyterian Congregation, at Basking Ridge New-Jersey: And President of Franklin College, Located at Athens, in the State of Georgia, With Brief Sketches of Some of His Cotemporaries, and Numerous Notes

His great object has been to draw a true character, rather than a hand some portrait - to make an honest and useful, rather than a splendid volume - to place correctly before our view that high.
