Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Our Times and Our Duties: An Address Delivered at the Annual Commencement of the Theological Seminary of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Diocese of Virginia, June 27, 1872
It is not with a View to feed the vanity and egotism of this nineteenth century that we assert it to be alto gether peculiar, in the in?uences which have been brought to bear upon it, and the events that have Sprung out of its bosom. The next hundred years, for aught we know, may bring powers into play, and exhibit providential phenomena to the, world, which shall throw all that we now witness into the shade. But thus far, at least, the world has seen nothing like the present; since the beginning of our era; except, perhaps, the period of the Reformation.
