Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Teachings of Joseph Livesey: Comprising His Autobiography, With an Introductory Review of His Labours as Reformer and Teacher There could be no fitter memorial of Joseph Livesey than the good which would result from an extensive emulation of his useful career. The reader is strongly urged to give his principles, plans, and methods the' consideration they deserve; and, by imitating and obeying the Great Exemplar so faithfully followed by Mr. Livesey, to labour for the promotion of the cause of universal good among men, and (as far as human effort can promote such. An end) the glory of God. Of the portraits of Mr. Livesey inserted in this volume, it may be well to explain that the steel engraving facing title page is from a photograph taken in 1862; the photograph which faces the Autobiography was taken when. Mr. Livesey was in his 88th year; while the lithographed one is from a photograph taken late in life. I have to thank Mr. William Livesey for his hearty co operation in this work, especially for his assistance ln arranging the Appendix; but it is only just to that gentleman to say that he 18 in no way, even by suggestion, responsible for the line I have taken ln the Introductory Chapters. According to announcement the present volume should have appeared several months ago; but the delay has arisen from circumstances beyond control, the chief cause being the partial breakdown of the writer's health during the progress of the work.
