The aim of this series of books is “to illuminate the never-to-be-finished art of living,” with no attempt at solving the problems or giving dogmatic theories of conduct. The present monograph shows what possibilities for development there are in the margin—the time falling to the lot of each individual to spend as he may please—and points out ways of using it to increase the capital, the character, intelligence and appreciation of one’s life.

“The author’s connection with Plymouth church began four years after Mr. Beecher came as its first pastor. The present volume is not a history of the church, such as was lately published of the Broadway tabernacle in New York, but is rather a series of notes and impressions attached to a thread of facts. Naturally to the author the great predominating figure is the first pastor, altho full credit and honor are given to the two very able men who succeeded him, Dr. Abbott and Dr. Hillis. A fair account is given of the origin of the church, and, naturally, a very slight account of the trial of Mr. Beecher, with a view of involving the name of no one.”—Ind.
“The book has an excellent spirit, and gives a correct impression of the immense influence the church had in favor of freedom all over the country.”
