Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Waymarks, 1870-1891: Being Discourses, With Some Account of Their Occasions
The materials of which history is made are often de rived from sources apparently the most remote and un promising. Indeed, it may be said to be a chief charm in histories that have qualities of enduring interest, that their authors have not disdained such sources, however insignificant or obscure.
It is in some such considerations that this volume must find its excuse. During the time of our Civil War I remember noting upon a friend's book-shelves a volume with the title Sermons of the Revolution. I never opened it, and I am unable, at this distance, farther to identify it. But I recollect very well the train upon which, not unnaturally, it started my imagi nation. For if the preaching of the Revolutionary period was at all colored by its incidents, there can be little doubt that it was stirring and interesting.
