Jubilee Memorial POR THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY. BY THE REV. THOMAS TIMPSON, AUTHOR OF THE "COMPANION TO THE BIBLE," "THE KEY TO THE BIBLE," "CHURCH HISTORY THROUGH ALL AGES," "THE ANGELS OF GOD," ETC., ETC. DEDICATED, WITH PERMISSION, TO PRESIDENT OF THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY LONDON: AND 70, EDGWARE ROAD. 1858. TO THE RIGHT HON. EARL OF SHAFTESBURY, PRESIDENT OF THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY. My LORD, In dedicating this volume to your Lordship, I cannot omit to acknowledge the kind manner in which that honour was granted. The chief merit of the work consists in its record of the wonderful and successful operations of the great Institution over which your Lordship has been called to preside, and of the extraordinary endowments and virtues of the excellent men who have been its principal labourers. Having been for more than forty years connected with the Bible Society, privileged with an acquaintance with many of its agents, and to co-operate, on some occasions, in parts of its agencies, I have felt delighted in bringing together the memorials of those who being dead yet speak,”—and trust 54269 5491 1906 (RECAP) |
