Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Philip Lindsley, D.D, Vol. 3: Miscellaneous Discourses and Essays N 0 full and connected biography of Dr. Lindsley has been at tempted in these volumes. The life of a student and man of letters is, for the most part, an uneventful one - at least uneventful as to single outward acts of public and general interest. In the present instance it has been thought that the best memoir, as well as the most lasting monument of the author, is to be found in his writings - not in What others may say of him, now that he is gone, but in what his own living pen had left on record. The words of such a man are his deeds, and when these are fully laid before the reader, but little remains to the biographer. Under this impression, all that has been aimed at in these introductory notices has been to present a fair esti mate of his labours and influence in those fields to which his energies were devoted, and to furnish only so much, in the way of fact and incident, as might be needful to a right appreciation both of his writ ings and his character.
