Excerpt from History of the City of Ripon: And of Its Founder, David P. Mapes, With His Opinion of Men and Manners of the Day

I once heard the celebrated clergyman, Orvil Dewey, preach, in the city of New York, a sermon from the text Truth, and he showed most clearly that in all our acts of life we must be truthful or the world would see that we had not the truth in our souls; even the mere child will detect the putting on of airs. So here it is as thoughts have come to me and I have penned them, and you, critics, take it and deal gently with the old man, for such now they call me, if I do feel young. I have written this without gloves, for I meant it should come bare handed if the hand may appear.
