Since the days of George Whitfield, it has not fallen to the lot of
another minister of the gospel to enjoy so great and wide-spread a
celebrity as that of the late LORENZO DOW. In England and Ireland, in
the United States and the Canadas, there are probably few persons now
living who have reached adult age, to whom his name is not familiar.
There is not a state in our Union that he has not visited, and there is
scarcely a town in the older States in which he has not been listened to
by hundreds, if not thousands, of the present generation.
It is hardly possible that one who attracted so much of the public
attention during his life should soon cease to be an object of interest.
Many among those who have listened to his public teachings, as well as
those who know him only by reputation, would doubtless be gratified to
possess the means of forming a true estimate of the character of the
man—the causes of his singularities, the secret of his influence, and
the peculiar bent and power of his mind. It is to gratify this desire
that the present edition of his collected works is given to the public.
His Journal, which comprises the history of his life to his fortieth
year, will suggest to an attentive reader a clew to the enigma which his
apparently mysterious conduct often presented.
