Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Brief Memoir and Some Remains of the Late Rev. James McDowall
In complying with this natural request, I was not unsonscious of the fact, that the outer life, of the Rev. Mr. Mcdowell had little in it of the stirring incident that usually imparts interest to biogra phy. But if, on the other hand, the work done, the battle fought, the sufieriug endured, in the invisible domain of the human heart, have been found to possess often a great and tragic interest, then, it cannot be denied but some degree of interest, - especia!ly to those that knew_him personally - must attach to the inner lite of a man, who, -though naturally his heart was haughty and his eyes lofty, -became, by the discipline of sufiering, like one whose soul was even as a weaned child.
