In consenting to prepare the following memoir, the author was influenced not only by a request of the Trustees of the Columbian College, but by the solicitation and advice of several in whose judgment he had confidence. The hope also was entertained that some good might be done to the cause of evangelical religion. The task, delicate and difficult as it was, has been performed with a steady purpose to do justice to the memory of an endeared Christian brother, and to consult the honor of that Redeemer whom he trusted and served. The work might have been considerably enlarged, but it was deemed most expedient, as far as possible, to condense the materials, while nothing has been knowingly omitted which was necessary to make out a complete portraiture. By many it has been regretted that a biography of this distinguished individual, should have been so long delayed. It will be proper to state that it is but little more tlian t Avelve months since the resolution of the Board, requesting the performance of this duty, was received by the author and that unavoidable delay in the reception of necessary documents prevented an immediate commencement of the work. Multiplied ministerial duties also, connected with a desire to bestow as much labor as practicable upon the memoir, have contributed to retard its publication. As the copy-right will be secured to the Trustees of the Columbian College, it is hoped that in its sale, a considerable sum may be realized by that institution, to aid its praiseworthy designs.
