Excerpt: ... when I was allowed to quit the plough, and to betake myself to the business of a carpenter, with my second brother Joseph. But he was fractious, and often had recourse to hard words and severe blows. These I did act at all relish: but I continued to labour with him till the latter end of the year 1750, or 1751. Before 1 proceed, I must take a little time to reflect on the danger of my situation, at that period. During the 5 or 6 years. I continued with my brothers, I dq pot remember, ever; to have seen or heard any thing of a religious nature; or that tended to turn my attention to the great concerns of eternity. I know not, that I ever heard any serious conversation respecting God and Christ, Heaven and Hell. There was a church, in the parish, within three miles of me, and a great many people attended it, every Sunday. But I went not once in a year. And if I had gone ever so often, I should not have been much the wiser: for the parish minister was but a poor preacher--very unapt to teach or even to gain the attention of an audience. Being very near-sighted, and preaching wholly by a written copy, he kept his eyes continually fixed on the paper, and so near, that what he said seemed rather addrest to the cushion, than to the congregation. Except at a time, when he might have a quarrel with any body--then he would straiten up, and speak lustily, that all might distinctly hear. I remember to have heard, he had once a quarrel with his clerk, and strove hard in vestry to turn the poor man out of his place; but failed in the attempt. The next Sunday he had prepared a scolding for him, and did vilify him stoutly, right over his head. The clerk sat it out to the last; and as soon as the angry sermon ended, he rose up, according to custom, ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of the Reverend Devereux Jarratt: Rector of Bath Parish, Dinwiddie County, Virginia Biography is justly considered one of the most entertaining kinds of history, and if the characters are such as have, through many difficulties, been raised up to great and distinguished usefulness in their day and station, and are eminent for piety and virtue, what can be more interesting or tend more powerfully to excite others to go and do likewise? Friendly Reader, you are here presented with a character of this description. This book contains a plain, artless, unadorned account of the life and experience of the Rev. Devereux Jarrratt, who after having served his generation faithfully in his station, now rests from his labors. The memorial of virtue is immortal, it is approved of God and of men. The manuscript, in his own hand writing, has been in my possession several years before his decease, and esteemed by me as a treasure of no small value, had it never transpired, but being left with me for publication after his death, I consider it a deposit of too sacred a nature to be neglected. From some unavoidable circumstances it has been delayed longer than I could have wished. In the mean while, pressing solicitations, not a few, have been addressed to me to have it published. I consider it therefore a duty I owe to the public, as well as respect to the memory of a deceased friend and father in Christ, to send it forth into the world, for the instruction of all who maybe disposed to read it. The author's desire has in every particular been complyed with. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Cashaway Psalmody written by Stephen A. Marini and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2020-02-14 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Singing master Durham Hills created The Cashaway Psalmody to give as a wedding present in 1770. A collection of tenor melody parts for 152 tunes and sixty-three texts, the Psalmody is the only surviving tunebook from the colonial-era South and one of the oldest sacred music manuscripts from the Carolinas. It is all the more remarkable for its sophistication: no similar document of the period matches Hills's level of musical expertise, reportorial reach, and calligraphic skill. Stephen A. Marini, discoverer of The Cashaway Psalmody, offers the fascinating story of the tunebook and its many meanings. From its musical, literary, and religious origins in England, he moves on to the life of Durham Hills; how Carolina communities used the book; and the Psalmody's significance in understanding how ritual song—transmitted via transatlantic music, lyrics, and sacred singing—shaped the era's development. Marini also uses close musical and textual analyses to provide a critical study that offers music historians and musicologists valuable insights on the Pslamody and its period. Meticulous in presentation and interdisciplinary in scope, The Cashaway Psalmody unlocks an important source for understanding life in the Lower South in the eighteenth century.
