Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Fifty-Years Pastorate: A Half-Century Discourse, Delivered in North-Hampton, N. H. November 18, 1851
Israel had felt, and continued to feel, a great interest in its welfare. He knew that he had himself become Old, and was drawing near the close of his mortal life. In the affairs of the past and Of the passing generations of the children of Abraham, he had been intimately conversant. He rejoiced in the prospects of good to those who were to succeed him. He seems to have anticipated his approaching death not only with calmness but comfort; as well he might; for they who say such things as he said, shew plainly that they desire a better country, even a heavenly.
