Excerpt from One Hundred Years Ago: The Life and Times of Rev. Walter Dulany Addison, 1769-1848, Compiled From Original Papers in Possession of the FamilyNE hundred years ago, August 1793, the Rev. Walter Dulany Addison was ordained at Easton, Maryland, by the Right Rev. Thomas J. Claggett. I propose to celebrate the centennial of this event, so important in the life of the subject of it - and not without its in¿uence on our then infant Church - 4by collecting in a little book the various memorials of him that have been already published, adding to them what other information I can gather from those family letters, journals and writings within my reach, which appear to me to throw light on the history of a life spent in a singularly close and faithful fol lowing of his Master and Lord. For he was one of those holy and humble men of heart who have been a bless ing to the earth in all ages: as well in our time as when the Benedicite was first sung. No age is so dark but that some such characters have been found, to the praise of God and the good of their fellow-men. Generally, as in this case, they have led unobtrusive lives, which spoke to an evil world, as the still small voice of conscience speaks to an evil heart.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
