Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bibliography and Index to the Works of Theodore Parker The present volume is the fifteenth and concluding one of the Centenary edition of Theodore Parker's writings, whose publication was made possible by the generous gift of money for this purpose by the late John C. Haynes, a prominent merchant of Boston, and the effective cooperation of the American Unita rian Association. Mr. Haynes, who in his early life was a parishioner of Mr. Parker, was later one of the leading spirits of the Twenty - eighth Congregational Society, and took an active part in the erection of its Parker Memorial Meeting House in Boston. It is to be regretted that he did not live to behold the new edition of Parker's writings, whose publication was the crowning mark of his loyalty to the insp-irer of his early manhood, for whom he had never ceased to cherish a grateful and reverent affection. The present volume consists of an interesting report by C01. Thomas Wentworth Higginson on Theodore Parker's library, made in 1883 to the trustees of the Boston Public Library, to which Parker bequeathed his books, and here reprinted. The volume is further more furnished with a Bibliography of Parker's writ ings, and Writings about Parker, which, it is hoped, may be reasonably complete, and a full index, pre pared by Arthur A. Brooks, to the fourteen volumes of this Centenary edition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
