Excerpt from Life and Work of J. R. W. Sloane, D. D: Professor of Theology in the Reformed Presbyterian Seminary at Allegheny City, Penn, 1868-1886 and Pastor of the Third Reformed Presbyterian Church, New York, 1856-1868 This book has been compiled and published primarily for the ecclesiastical connection with which Dr. Sloane was identified, and to which his whole life was devoted. It was by the advice of his friends in the Covenanter church that the work was undertaken, and it is hoped that the result will meet with their approval. The materials were fragmentary and slight, and much that was expected will not be found; but the editor was anxious to use only what was of undoubted authen ticity. He hopes that due allowance will be made for his apparent shortcomings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
