Ezekiel Gilman Robinson: An Autobiography, With a Supplement by H. L. Wayland and Critical Estimates (Classic Reprint)

Overview

Excerpt from Ezekiel Gilman Robinson: An Autobiography, With a Supplement by H. L. Wayland and Critical Estimates

In the spring of 1893 Dr. Robinson was prevailed upon to begin the dictation of an autobiography. At the same time the contributors and the topics for a memorial volume were agreed upon substantially as they now appear. Dr. Robinson was urged to tell his story with entire frankness, and equal frankness was asked from the contributors; they were also assured that what they might write, until it went to the publisher, would not come under any other eye than that of the editor. A more candid memorial volume than these plans have secured could hardly be found; yet a less discriminating book would not indicate so fine a reverence for him who is its subject. The Critical Estimates are pervaded by a conviction that the impress made by Dr. Robinson upon the thinking and the preaching of his denomination is the deepest that it has received in a generation; the effort of the writers has been to determine and to state the sources and nature of an influence which, at the distance even of many years, is still rated by those who came under it as hardly less than prodigious.
