A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Very soon after the death of Mr. Garrettson it was made known to me by the bereaved widow, that he had expressed a desire that herself and daughter and myself should take the charge of his papers, and make such a disposition of them as we might consider to be fit and right. After taking a cursory survey of them, it was resolved that Mrs. Garrettson and her daughter should first examine them, make such alterations or emendations as they might think expedient, and transmit them to me to be prepared for publication in the manner I might judge most suitable and proper. Whatever reluctance I might feel to undertake a task so delicate, I could not refuse to comply with a request coming from one to whom I felt myself under many obligations for numerous tokens of his friendship, backed as it was by the wishes of his bereaved widow and daughter, and more especially as he had, previously to his death, frequently suggested the same thing to me. It is generally known that Mr. Garrettson published an account of his experience and travels in the year 1791. This account embraces a period of about thirty-nine years of his natural life, and sixteen of his spiritual pilgrimage. To this printed journal he had appended several manuscript notes.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
