Excerpt from Manna in the Wilderness, or the Grove and Its Altar, Offerings, and Thrilling Incidents: Containing a History of the Origin and Rise of Camp Meetings, and a Defence of This Remarkable Means of Grace; Also, an Account of the Wyoming Camp Meeting; Together With Sketches of Sermons and Preachers Solomon said, of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness to the flesh. This was written in the days of parchment, when the pen of the ready writer was employed, and centuries before the discovery of the art of printing. What he would have said, if he had lived in this book-making age, I cannot tell. He that writes a good book that will be read, not only when he is living, but when the heart that dictated it is cold, and the fingers that wrote it are like marble, does a noble work, for the pen is far more powerful than the sword.
