BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF THE REV. EDMUND D. GRIFFIN. BY THE REV. JOHN MCVICKAR, D. D. PROFESSOR OF MORAL PHILOSOPHY, ETC., IN COLUMBIA COLLEGE, NEW-YORK. NEW YORK: PRINTED AT THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL PRESS. 1832. us 15677.24 HARVARD COLLEGE LIBRARY FROM THE BEQUEST OF EVERT JANSEN WENDELL 1918 Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1832, by John V. Van Ingen, (as Secretary and Agent of the General Protestant Episcopal Sunday School Union,) in the office of the Clerk of the Southern District of New-York. THE following Memoir was originally published, prefixed to “The Remains" of their lamented subject. Its reprint in a separate and cheaper form having been repeatedly called for, and at length solicited on the part of a Society* whose labors have been always usefully directed, the author felt himself no longer entitled to hesitate; but with the approbation of the editor of the original work, through whose kindness he is enabled to add to its interest by several extracts from the Journal, it is now put forth in the trust that it may accomplish some portion of that good among the rising youth of our country, which was the original motive for undertaking it. Columbia College, New-York, 15th June, 1832. *The following is the application above alluded to. REV. AND DEAR SIR, New-York, May 30, 1832. The Executive Committee of the General Protestant Episcopal Sunday School Union, having understood that an edition of the 'Memoir of the Rev. Edmund D. Griffin' prefixed to his 'Remains,' will probably be published in a detached form, beg leave to request through you, that the privilege be granted to the Institution with which they are connected, of placing this work upon its catalogue, and issuing it from its press. The obvious ground of their application,-apart from the merit of the work, and its promise of usefulness,—I need not say is-the relation which its subject sustained to the Church by which this Society is patronized. Very respectfully, by order, JOHN V. VAN INGEN, Secretary of the Executive Committee General Protestant THE REV. J. McVICKAR, D. D. |
