Memoir of the Rev. John Stanford, D. D: Late Chaplain to the Humane and Criminal Institutions in the City of New-York (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Memoir of the Rev. John Stanford, D. D: Late Chaplain to the Humane and Criminal Institutions in the City of New-York

That the life of our venerable friend was devoted to the glory of God, the present happiness and future salvation of men, will be doubted by no one acquainted with his indefatigable labours as a minister of Christ; and it is reasonable to suppose, that the Christian public desire to become more familiar with the private history of a man so highly distinguished for usefulness, and so universally beloved. How far the present volume may conduce to the proposed end, must be submitted to the judgment of the reader, from'whose kindness the writer will hope, that its moral tendency will shield both the work and its author, at least from severe criticism.
