Stephen Higginson Tyng, D.D: And History of St. George's Church, New York to the Close of His Rectorship The position which Dr. Tyng occupied in the Church of God, was in many respects individual and peculiar. His life covered important periods in the history of the Church to whose ministry it was consecrated. In all these his strong personality, his inflexible independence, his wonderful power, his earnest zeal, his unceasing activity, made him a prominent figure. It would tax the skill of the ablest pen to depict his remarkable qualities, and require a history of his times to portray him in the many connections in which they were so constantly displayed. It will therefore seem a bold undertaking for one inexperienced in literary labor, and whose life has been spent in other pursuits, to have attempted to record the history of such a life. A few words are evidently, therefore, required in explanation of the purpose and plan of this work, as well as of the circumstances which have caused its completion by the present writer, at the present time. From the hour of his death, the desire that a memorial of my fathers life and work should be prepared led to much consideration, and many plans for its accomplishment. All proved fruitless, however, and year aft-er year passed without any prospect of an attainment of the wish. It seemed too great an undertaking for any one to attempt. It was known that little had been preserved by Dr. Tyng which could be made available for such a work, and that the necessary material must therefore be gathered wherever it might be found. This must be a laborious effort, while its successful result could neither be predicted nor assured. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
