Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Undying Soul and Its Intermediate State Between Death and the Resurrection Well, if critics differed with reference to the merits of the match less work of the suffering victim of Bedford' Jail, they doubtless will do so in reference to our humble production. We have only to say to such as may disapprove of the effort, that the work has been furnished for the press in the midst of the arduous work of a pastor, with the eternal interests of a con gre gatica resting upon his heart and hands; and while the author is deeply sensible of its susceptibility of significant improvements, he claims to have done the best he could in view of circumstances, and sends his thoughts to the world with many prayers that thou sands may be benefited by a perusal of the humble pages.
