The Professional Years of John Henry Hobart: Being a Sequel to His Early Years (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Professional Years of John Henry Hobart: Being a Sequel to His Early Years

But the narrative is also intended to be a domestic one. It has, therefore, been the aim of his biographer to exhibit Bishop Hobart, not only as the ruler, but, as the man and the Christian; and to interweave, with the loftier features of the one the lovelier traits of the other. He has, therefore, painted him as in life he knew him, full of benevolence as well as zeal, and as condescending as he was fear less; uniting the warm heart and the open hand, and the kind manners of the humble, cheerful Christian companion with the daunt less spirit and uncompromising love of truth that should distinguish him who is called to govern or to teach.
