Présentation de l'éditeur

Lf 77 7PREFACE In the summer of 1903, the Rev. John W. Caldwell, Jr., paid me a call, during which he said that there was a plan on foot to prepare a memorial volume of his grandfather, the lateR ev. Dr. B. M. Palmer, of New Orleans; that according to this plan the volume would contain the best of the biographical papers concerning him published soon after Dr. Palmer sdeath, a few of his best sermons and speeches, and a historical sketch of his services to the Church. He said, also, that in a family conference, they had concurred in thinking that I was the man to prepare the account of the ecclesiastical services. I was naturally pleased at being thought worthy to-perform this service in behalf of the memory of such a distinguished and noble man, but I felt that other men were probably much fitter for the task; and that it would be difficult to bring out his ecclesiastical services fully without dealing with his life and character as a man and aC hristian, apart from which he could have given no such service to the Church. I also felt that such a volume as had been contemplated was an insufficient memorial of one so worthy; that a proper regard for his character, and work, and for the interests of Christianity, all dictated that an adequate biography should be prepared. I frankly stated all these views. I also said that, in my judgment, they should find a man to do the work who had been bred in theS outh Carolina belt of civilization. I ventured even to name a man who would do the work well. Mr. Caldwell agreed that a biography was really demanded to meet the proprieties of the case; but spoke of practical difficulties in the way of securing such an elaborate work. He said that I was believed to have the kinship of ecclesiastical view desired in a biographer.
