REPRESENTATIVE MODERN PREACHERS . MODERN PREA f ttERS BY LEWIS O. BRASTOW, D. D. PROFESSOR OF PRACTICAL THEOLOGY IN YALE UNIVERSITY HODDER STOUGHTON NEW YORK GEORGE H. DORAN COMPANY PREFACE THE chapters of this volume were originally lectures to divinity students. I have ventured to present them in revised and expanded form to the general public, because I think that the preachers of whose personali ties and products I have here attempted a critical esti mate have, by their skill and force in presenting the truth, won the right to a special hearing.

Like the preceeding books in "The Representative Americans" series, "The Romantics" makes history human by putting tissue on the skeletal framework of names and dates. Risjord uses a biographical approach to make the past more concrete and vivid, to recover a heritage that today’s reader can feel and experience. "The Romantics" treats people whose principal contributions fell in the first half of the nineteenth century, though several of those studied lived into the Civil War era and beyond. While certain individuals may be unfamiliar to readers-the slaves Prince and Fed, Free Frank, a b
