Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chaplains and Clergy of the Revolution I have regretted especially that I could obtain nothing satisfactory respecting the Lutheran Church, which ren dered the country good service. But notwithstanding the necessary incompleteness of the work, I feel I have done something towards giving the clergy and the pulpit the place which they ought to have in the history of the Revolution, and furnished a book which will benefit the generation now rising into manhood, by directing the mind not only to religious influences, but to the great source of all national bless ings, as well as to battle fields and the strong legions.
