Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Universalism in Gloucester, Mass: An Historical Discourse on the One Hundredth Anniversary of the First Sermon of Rev. John Murray in That Town; Delivered in the Independent Christian Church, November 3, 1874
Delay in the publication of this volume has given Opportunity to discover and utilize several important documents which were not available at the time of delivering the Historical Discourse. Except in one particular, explained in foot note 46, the text of the Discourse is unchanged. Added matter is thrown into the Appendix. The author has aimed at accu racy in the presentation of facts, and believes that he has succeeded in giving reliable statements. In what might possibly be disputed, care has been taken to give the original documents or other acknowledged authority.
The illustrations, done in the best Albertype style, add greatly to the value of the book. They are all made from authentic originals, the portrait of Rev. John Murray being from an oil painting made in Portsmouth, N. H., in 1784, the only portrait for which Mr. Murray ever gave a sitting. The original painting is now owned by the Tufts Divinity School, Tufts College. All references in the Discourse to the Life of Murray, are to the edition of 1869.
