Excerpt from Elijah Kellogg, the Man and His Work: Chapters From His Life and Selections From His WritingsThis book makes no pretence of expounding thee doctrines of the theologian or analyzing the methods of the artist. It is simply a remembrancer of a quaint and winning man for his intimate friends and parishioners, for the boys who have delighted in his stories, for the sailors whose lives he saved from shipwreck, for the college students who learned from him a wisdom not to be found in books, for all, in fact, to whom the memory of his unique personality is dear.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
