Excerpt from The Life and Teachings of Joseph Livesey: Comprising His Autobiography, With an Introductory Review of His Labours as Reformer and Teacher There could-be no fitter memorial of Joseph Livesey than the good which would result from an extensive emulation of his useful career. The reader is strongly urged to give his principles, plans, and methods the consideration they deserve; and, by imitating and obeying the Great Exemplar so faithfully followed by Mr. Livesey, to labour for the promotion of the cause of universal good among men, and (as far as human effort can promote such an end) the glory of God. Of the portraits of Mr. Livesey inserted in this volume, it may be well to explain that the steel engraving facing title page is from a photograph taken in 1862; the photograph which faces the Autobiography was taken when Mr. Livesey was in his 88th year; while the lithographed one is from a photograph taken late in life.
