Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life and Letters of John Angell James: Including an Unfinished Autobiography The Autobiographical Fragment found among the papers of the late J ohn angell james was commenced in the autumn of 1858, and laid aside before the end of the year. Let the reader imagine himself in a square room of moderate dimensions, comfort-ably furnished but without ostentation, a blazing fire on the hearth, the dark heavy curtains drawn, and candles lit for an evening's work. The wall on your left is covered with engravings of well-known ministers: you will recognise at once the majestic form and the ardent gaze of dr-m'all, the most brilliant of modern preachers; the quaint, kindly countenance of William Jay; the rugged face of Chalmers; and the robust form and ample brow of Robert Hall, who in genius and scholarship, vigour of judgment and splendour of imagination, surpassed them all. Facing you are two large Oil-paintings, one on each side of the fire-place; that on the right is an early portrait of Mr James, the other, of his second wife, who has been dead now for seventeen years. Two or three other faces which are dear to the old man writing at the table, look down Upon him from above the mantel piece and on a bracket fastened to the opposite wall stands the bust of his tutor, Dr Bogue.

That these pages should exhibit a perfect image of your father's excellence is impossible. The impression his goodness produced on his children, and on the friends who knew his daily life, no language can adequately represent. I shall be satisfied if you think that strangers will find here a faint outline of his true character. The gratitude I feel to your father's friends, who have aided me in various ways, will be shared by yourself. To the Rev. Dr King of Glasgow, whose communication on the early history of the Evangelical Alliance has been of great service to me; to the Rev. William Guest, who has written an interesting paper on your father's influence on the Spring-Hill Students; to the Rev. Dr Patton and the Rev. Dr Sprague, who have sent me a large number of valuable letters, - my thanks are especially due. The judgment of my friend and neighbour, the Rev. G. B. Johnson of Edgbaston, has saved me from many mistakes, and would have saved me from many more had his health and engagements permitted me to consult him more frequently.

- s***s (18)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller was fine, arrived promptly with good packaging and in perfect condition. But I should have asked questions about the book. It is really just a recreation of a collection of pages from old catalogues. I was hoping for more information & history of some of the Chickering models. This was not worth $18 to me. Would have been helpful if the seller had given examples of some pages.
