Brand New Book. Excerpt from Patient Continuance in Well-Doing: A Memoir of Elihu W. Baldwin, D.D., First Pastor of the Seventh Presbyterian Church, New-York, and First President of Wabash College IT is not Of every man, nor even of every distinguished or great or useful man, that the biography should be written and given to the public.
