Excerpt from A Sermon Delivered Before the Congregational Society at Thomaston, (Maine) November 2, 1806; Being the Lord's Day After the Interment of the Hon.: Henry Knox, Who Died, October 25th, Aetat, 56 Years The following Sermon is submitted to the press upon the urgent and repeated request of a Committee chosen by the Society at Thomaston, who heard it from the pulpit. It was written in much haste and in a very infirm state of health. But it is not consistent with my ideas of propriety, to make any alterations. The character of General Knox, attempted in the close of the Discourse, I am sensible, is not complete and perfect; though the sketches here given, so far as they go, I believe are strictly just. This remark, by way of apology, I consider necessary, both in justice to myself and the character of the deceased. - Some facts are added, as notes; and these are concisely stated, to prevent swelling the pamphlet.
