Dr.. DdJHegS Lye Of JdckS0R-A cores
pondent of the Presbyterian hdec thus speaks
of the book:
Il have lately read DR. Dabneys Life of
jackson. 1t is great book, and well deserves
the high cOmmendation given in your notice Of
it. Its great value consists in its lessons to
the Young men of the South. 1t should be in
the hand of every one of them as book to be
studied not for its details Of battles or for its
political teachings, but for its portrayal of the
character of a great Christian, and to teach
them the value of religion as an element-yea
more, as the basis of character. 1t was Jack
sons religion that made HIM great. He was
hero before he became Christian, indeed,
before he ever led charge in battle. But 1t
required the religious element to make him
great. to make him all that so great a character
was capable of being made He failed in the
cherished wish Of his heart, though by death
saved the modification OF seeing the failure,
but may we not believe that kind Providence
intends some compensation for his loss to the
country, and for lost cause, IN the value OF
his Christian example to the whole youth OF
the South.
