Excerpt from Life and Letters of W. A. Passavant, D. D

Dr. Passavant was an editor for fifty years. He wrote on almost every conceivable subject. What wealth of wisdom was here! What a tempting mass of material! Volumes of interest ing, instructive and inspiring reading matter might be culled from what was before us. At every point the writer had to re strain himself. Again and again he cut out what had already gone into the manuscript. He tried to select and retain only What seemed necessary to the understanding of the man and his work. What was needed to throw light on his character, his spirit, his inner life, his motives, his aims and achievements was retained. The man and the life were found a most absorbing study. Four summer vacations were spent on the manuscript, before it went to the publisher.

We present to our readers not merely our story of that Life. We offer the Life and Letters, including under letters anything that he wrote. We have tried to make it an Auto biography rather than a Biography. As far as possible, we have made the Doctor tell his own story.
