John Woolman: A Study for Young Men
Excerpt from John Woolman: A Study for Young Men
I thought it might be of some advantage to the young men and others to whom I minister, if I brought before them the Character of John Wool man. What delighted and profited me might, I hoped, do the same for others. When in two lec tures I had fulfilled this intention, I was asked to give the production to the press, and I forthwith made the two lectures into a little book for publi cation. I found, however, that Woolman's Journal, which my lectures urged people to read, was out of print, but that it was about to be re-issued with the introduction by the venerable American Poet, John G. Whittier, - an introduction I had not been able previously to get hold of. The date of this is Amesbury, acth 1st mo., and it is now te-published by Robert Smeal (crosshill.
