Excerpt from The Star of the West: Being Memoirs of the Life of Risdon Darracott, Minister of the Gospel, at Wellington, Somerset, With Extracts From His CorrespondenceFor, it is not pretended that the subject of these Memoirs was a Luther or Calvin in the church, confined to no clime, and claimed by every age. The distinguished men, who have created a new aera in reli gion, may be recalled to notice at any time, and can always justify the interest which they never fail to excite. But the history of those who filled a narrower circle during life, must be recorded immediately after death, or the world will refuse to listen to the instruction which they may be able to afford.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
