Book excerpt: Excerpt from Church Essays The Essays here collected, except those on Charity, Prayer, Death, appeared, during the years 1861 and 1862, in the "Church Monthly Magazine," Boston. They are published in the present shape with the assent of the Rev. Dr. Huntington, formerly senior editor of the "Church Monthly," to whom I am indebted for kindly favoring my purpose of giving these Essays a more permanent form. I trust they will not be found deficient in unity. "Our best and surest road to knowledge," says Lord Kaimes, "is by profiting by the knowledge (i. e. the reading) of others." Certainly it is the shortest - to some it is the only road. I hope, therefore, that these Essays, brief though they be, will prove advantageous to those who may chance to peruse them, and thus "read by deputy."
