Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The London Pulpit 'Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto, ' said Terence, and the sentence has been a motto for man these many years. To the human what deep interest attaches! A splendid landscape soon palls unless it has its hero. We tire of the monotonous prairie till we learn that man, with his hopes and fears, has been there; and the barrenest country becomes dear to us if it come to us with the record of manly struggle and womanly love. This is as it should be, for 'The proper study of mankind is man.' In pursuance with this axiom, we have devoted some little time to the study of one section of modern men deservedly worthy of serious regard.
