Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Jonathan Edwards, a Retrospect: Being the Addresses Delivered in Connection With the Unveiling of a Memorial in the First Church of Christ in Northampton, Massachusetts, on the One Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of His Dismissal From the Pastorate of That Church
A unique opportunity was afforded for an attempt at appreciation from this broader point of view by the unveiling of a Memorial to Edwards in the First Church in N orthamp ton ou Friday the 22d of June, 1900, just a hundred and fiftyyears after his dismissal. This is not the only memorial of Edwards in Northampton. In spite of its ancient quar rel, the town has never been wanting in re gard for its greatest inhabitant. The noble elm which tradition says he planted is still reverently preserved on the site of his dwell ing and protected, as far as possible, from the ravages of time. Near the grave of his friend David Brainerd in the Old burying ground a citizen of the town years ago erected a stone inscribed to the memory of The American Theologian, and of his Scotch admirer, Dr. Chalmers. Not far oe, by one of the gateways, a granite monument contains the names Of Jonathan Edwards. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
