Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Funeral Sermon
We are far from condemning this prospective tendency of the human mind - this strong and para mount regard to the interest, the happiness, and the fame of the future. A regard for posthumous reputa tion is, perhaps, a lawful and innocent ambition. This gives an incentive to the intellect of youth, imparts vigor to the energies of manhood, and not unfrequently sustains and cheers the patience and perseverance of old age, in a virtuous and benevolent course.
