Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sermons by Nathan Parker, D. D: Late Pastor of the South Church and Parish, Portsmouth, N. H., With a Memoir of the Author
The buoyancy of spirits, the energy of purpose, and the power of influencing others, which distinguished him in ma ture life, are said to have been traits of his boyhood. It is said that he was a great favorite with other boys, and king among them in their sports. When at the age of ten or twelve, he was severely afflicted by inflammatory rheumatism for a long period, he would sometimes cry all night from the pain, and the next day, as soon as he had got his break fast, be off on his crutches after partridges, which he caught in snares. He was never in the least degree vicious, it is added, either in. Disposition or conduct. And such was his desire for improvement, during one period, that he would rise before others in the morning in order to secure time for reading and study.
