Excerpt from The Life of the Rev. Adam Clarke, LL. D., F. A.S., M. R. I. An;, Etc;, Etc No name in the history of Methodism, after John Wesley's, is more widely and honorably known than that of Adam Clarke. His "Commentary on the Bible" has been more generally circulated, both in the British Islands and in America, within the last thirty years, than any other exposition of the sacred writings. The Biblical culture of many a Methodist minister is due chiefly to that great work. And although it is now to some extent behind the present state of science, especially in the geography and topography of the Holy Land, its multifarious learning, and its excellent practical observations and reflections make it of great value, and keep it in circulation. But those who know Adam Clarke only from his Commentary know little of the man. His mental characteristics, it is true, are broadly stamped on that vast work: his simplicity, industry, self-reliance, boldness, even credulity, are obvious enough to the careful reader of the Commentary. But the nobleness of his nature, his thorough devotion to the cause of God, his spirit of self-sacrifice, his unfaltering loyalty to Methodism - these traits are chiefly displayed in other fields of his activity. To exhibit and illustrate them is the task of his biographer. A copious life of Dr. Clarke, by his son, including a curious and characteristic autobiography, appeared in London in 1834, (3 vols. 8 vo, ) and was afterward republished in this country. But it never sup plied the wants of the general public as a life of Dr. Clarke. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life, Ministry, and Writings, of the Rev. Adam Clarke There is no species of composition more interesting or more instructive than faithful and well-written biography. Its im mediate tendency is to unveil man to man. It discovers the virtues and the vices, the nobleness and the meanness, of which he is capable and it shows how the original sameness of human nature is varied by the operation of external causes, into ten thousand different shapes, and assumes as many shades and hues. It is calculated to awaken in the young an ardent love of virtue and solid excellence and of inciting in all a spirit of emulation to tread in the steps, which led those, who are now no more, to that eminence to which it is desi rable to attain. But man, to be known, must be viewed in every situation and wherever he is fairly exhibited; what ever may have been his rank, station, or circumstances of birth or fortune, a valuable addition is made to science. Whether the record respects the struggles of talents and worth through the chilling regions of obscurity and penury, up to the glittering eminences of fame and reward; or whether it details the operations of pride and ambition on minds born to wealth and power, it presents a useful lesson which all may turn to profit.
