Excerpt from Autobiography of William Neill, D. D: With a Selection From His Sermons I begin to note down and arrange some recollections of my past life, for the gratification of my children and other friends when I am gone; and also, for the purpose of celebrating the goodness of Divine Provi dence towards one who was exposed, from early child hood, to the hardships of orphanage, and the tempta tions of the world, and who, without earthly guardian Vested with authority, was left to follow the propensi ties of a wayward and depraved heart. Truly, a. Father of the fatherless, and a Judge Of the widows, is God, in his holy habitation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
