Excerpt from Dr. McLaren of Manchester a Sketch There is reason to believe that Dr. McLaren shrank from the idea of a large book, what is called a "Life," being written about him. But a few words on the subject said to the writer - his cousin and sister-in-law - allow her to feel that his sanction would not have been withheld from the outlines of life and character given here. During his long career he held firmly to the belief that one of a preacher's first duties is to efface himself, his part being that of a herald, one who has a message to give. This attitude of mind deepened the effect of his personality, and awakened both in those who listened to his spoken words or read them when printed, an eager desire to know something of his personal character. This desire is natural, and to meet it in some degree is all that is attempted in the following pages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
