THIS volume consists, as will be seen, of two parts. ton. In the first part, which is biographical, I have sought briefly but clearly to delineate in character and life two of the greatest and best men it has been my happiness anywhere to meet.

In the first division, I have made free use of former contributions by myself to magazines * and various newspapers, and have also freely availed myself of " The Life of Charles Hodge," written by his son, and of the "Funeral Address " and "Memorial Discourse," written, respectively, with reference to that son, by Prof. William M. Paxton, D.D., formerly of New York, now of Princeton, and Prof. F. L. Patton, D.D., LL.D., formerly of Chicago, now likewise of Prince In the second division, my one source of in formation has been my old Princeton notebook, in which I took jottings, at the time they were uttered, of the sayings now for the first time printed here. * Viz. : The Sunday at Home (April, 1879), The Catholic Presbyterian (January, 1881), and The Christian (August, 1887). — o PREFACE.
