Excerpt from Memoirs of the Rev. John H. Livingston. D. D. S. T. P: Prepared in Compliance With a Request of the General Synod of the Reformed Dutch Church in North America The letters which were written by the Doctor upon important ecclesiastical measures, particu larly those of a late date, are given, not so much to complete the narrative, as to show how far he was active, and the motives that regulated his conduct. And it was judged indeed, that his excellence both in private and public life - that his character as a Christian minister, as a husband, father, friend would be better estimated from his unreserved com munications to intimate friends, than from a bare historical statement of facts.
