Excerpt from The Works of Rev. Jesse Appleton, D. D., Late President of Bowdoin College, Vol. 1 of 2: Embracing His Course of Theological Lectures, His Academic Addresses, and a Selection From His Sermons; With a Memoir of His Life and Character It was thought important, that a more extended memoir of President Appleton's life and character, than has yet appeared, should accompany this new edition of his works. It seemed due to the friends of religion and true learning, as well as to the individual himself who shared so largely in the respect and veneration of the community, and whose memory is still fresh in many hearts, that an attempt should be made to render a more full tribute, than has yet been done, to his rare excellence.
