Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical Sketches of the Moody Family: Embracing Notices of Ten Ministers and Several Laymen From 1633 to 1842 Though the following Sketches relate almost entirely to the descendants of a single family, yet it is hoped they possess sufficient interest to enlist the attention of the general reader. The President of one of our New England colleges, in a letter to the author, says, "It will give me great pleasure to see historical sketches such as you propose, including the Moody Ministers in general. Those venerable names ought to be brought more to the knowledge of Ibis generation. Their goodly savor remains, and will remain. But we want facts and events, and truths and good deeds, brought to light, in which they were so conspicuous and remarkable in their times." The author intends, at some future day, to pursue these researches still further, and perhaps may add other sketches to those now offered; and should sufficient encouragement be given to this humble effort, it is not unlikely that a volume of Sermons, selected from the writings of the several ministers here mentioned, may be given to the public. It is hardly to be expected that a work of this kind will be entirely free from inaccuracies in dates. The only error of this kind, however, that we have observed, occurs in the notice of the Rev. Joshua Moody, of Star Island, page 94: for 1706 read 1707; and for 1782, as the time of his death, read 1768.
