Excerpt from Edward Irving: An Ecclesiastical and Literary Biography In the fulfilment of my purpose, I have received essential aid from the family and some friends of Mr. Irving - especially from the Rev. J. L. Miller, who was gratefully associated in my oldest memories with him; and whose recovered friendship, with that of Mrs. Irving, her son, and daughter (alas! There were but lately two sisters), I count more than a compen sation for any displeasure of religious sentiment unavoidably offended. But while to them I owe these thanks, - mine alone, be it understood, is the respon sibility for all statements and opinions herein contained. I hope there will be found, however, no graver error the plan and spirit of the performance being accepted - than the occasional misplace of a comma, or other artistic blemish, which must displease my reader less than it can displease myself.
