Synopsis

JOURNAL AND LETTERS OF THE REV. HENRY MARTYN by B.D. FELLOW. PREFACE TO THE AiVERICAN EDITION: - THERE is 110 modern name dearer to the clizrcli than that of Henry Dlartyn. A volume from his pen on any subject could not fail to interest the Christian public, nlucli more one like this, which contains the records of his heart. 111 those vho have read his life, will earnestly desire to read his Letters and Journal. The author of his life speaks of the distlacting riches of his journals, of the masses of ore left behind, when he made the extracts which are woven into the narrative. Those reserved 6ricles are now, for the first time, presented to the American public. We doubt not they will be eagerly appropriated and highly prized. The reader of this volume will be admitted to a still nearer view of hIartyns character than is given in his Rlenoir. He will become familiar with the processes by which Alartyns eminent attainments in piety were made. He enjoyed no peculiar advantages for progress in the divine life. He had the same temptations to resist, the same difficulties to over- come, as 0thermen. His temptations to anger, envy, evil speaking, and rvorldly mindedness were quite as great as those which beset the nxtjority of men.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

There is no modern name dearer to the church than that of Henry Martyn. A volume from his pen on any subject could not fail to interest the Christian public, much more one like this, which contains the records of his heart. All those who have read his life, will earnestly desire to read his Letters and Journal, The author of his life speaks of the distracting rtches of his journals, of the masses of ore left behind, when he made the extracts which are woven into the narrative. Those reserved riches are now, for the first time, presented to the American public. We doubt not they will be eagerly appropriated and highly prized. The reader of this volume will be admitted to a still nearer view of Martyn scharacter than is given in his Memoir. He will become familiar with the processes by which Martyn seminent attainments in piety were made. He enjoyed no peculiar advantages for progress in the divine life. He had the same temptations to resist, the same difficulties to overcome, as other men.
