A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

However humble, in point of endowments, education, resources, or social position, each member of the human family stands so related to others and to the whole, that his life and death must affect others for weal or woe. Each individual makes the world different from what it would have been without him ;and it is a process, by no means useless or uninteresting, to trace the relations of the individual to society, and the influence which he imparts to or receives from it. It is by this process that the philosophy of life, individual and social, is to be ascertained, and its lessons made available. The spirit of inspiration recognizes these great truths, not only in theS cripture cited above, but in many others, and in the fact that the Holy Book is largely occupied with biographical sketches of the godly and the wicked that have lived of old; the one class being designed for examples, the other, for warnings, to those who should live after. Inspired biography, it is true, is the only infallible record of the kind; and it is in reference to it, doubtless, that the apostolic exhortation is given, Be ye followers (imitators) of them who, through faith and patience, inherit the promises.
