Excerpt from Literary Remains of the Late William B. O. Peabody, D.D IT was intimated in the volume containing the Memoir and Sermons of Dr. Peabody, that a collection of his Mis cellaneous Writings would be published. Accordingly, the present selection has been prepared from his numer ous contributions to the North American Review. These were written at different periods from 1830 to 1846. They embrace a number of favorite subjects, and illustrate the extensive research, the enthusiastic love of nature, the delicate perception of moral beauty, and the lofty and uncompromising standard of right, which, blended toge ther by his quiet humor, always characterized him. In selecting the articles for publication, the object has been to give those which have been marked out as best by public opinion, and those which seemed to give the most faithful picture of his mind and heart. Omissions have been made only when dictated by the necessity of redue ing the article within proper limits, and then such parts have been omitted as were not necessary to the connec tion or value of the article.
