Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Joseph Addison Alexander, D. D., Professor in the Theological Seminary at Princeton, New Jersey
I shall make no apology for writing the life OF joseph addison alexander. If the facts recorded in these volumes be not a sufficient justification, there could be no other. Why the duty has been devolved on his nephew rather than upon some one else, is a question which need not be discussed here. It is enough to say that the work was undertaken not at his own instance but in compliance with the wishes of the surviving mem bers of the family.
