Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Terrors of the Pestilence: A Sermon Preached in the Church of the Pilgrims, Brooklyn, N. Y., On Occasion of a Collection in Aid of the Sufferers at Norfolk, Va., September 30th, 1855
Such is death, in itself; in its unalterable and singular sub limity brief in experience, but immeasurable in relations the inverted apex of the overshadowing Eternity. All men shrink from it, if not in fear of what it may lead to, yet in awe of its vast and unchangeable grandeur. Among all experiences eon fronted on earth, it hath preeminence. It is 'so high, that it is dreadful.'
