Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Three Discourses Upon the Religious History of Bowdoin College, During the Administrations of Presidents M'keen, Appleton, and Allen
The Discourses which you request for publication are cheer fully placed at your disposal. Any labor they may have cost has been abundantly rewarded by the generous interest with which they were listened to, and by the kind appreciation so pleasingly expressed in your note.
Allow me to add a word of explanation, - not necessary for you, perhaps, - but for others into whose hands they may come.
My original design simply was to prepare a brief account of some past seasons of religious interest in the history of the College, to be read at the Concert of Prayer for Colleges in February last. The materials gathered with this end in view, demanded, it was thought, ampler treatment; hence the method adopted. The principal object, however, has still been an immediate and practical one; and the course of thought pursued has been determined, in some measure, by the exis ting religious condition of the College.
