Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Daniel Ayres Goodsell was the son of Buel and Adeline (Ferris) Goodsell. He was born on November 5, 1840, in Newburg, New York.
Goodsell's father, an itinerant Methodist minister, was poor, but Daniel attended the University of the City of New York (now New York University) and graduated in 1859.
In 1859, Goodsell entered the Methodist ministry. He preached at various churches in eastern New York, and by 1876 attained enough prominence to be made a delegate to the quadrennial Methodist General Conference, an office which he, thereafter, filled regularly.
From 1880 to 1887, he was literary editor of the New York Christian Advocate, and in 1888, the time of his elevation to the bishopric, he was secretary of the Methodist board of education.
He died on December 5, 1909, in New York City.
Goodsell is known as an outstanding Methodist bishop and ecclesiastical ambassador. In addition to his many magazine articles, he published three books: Nature and Character at Granite Bay (1901), a pleasing group of out-of-door essays and character-studies; The Things Which Remain (1904), an address for young ministers, listing the elements of traditional Christianity which he believed would necessarily survive any process of scientific scrutiny; and Peter the Hermit (1906), a cursory sketch of the crusader made on the basis of several already existing portraits.

Goodsell's breadth of mind caused him to emphasize the unity of all Christianity; brought him into such fraternity with his co-denominationalists in the South that in 1905, he was head of the joint commission which prepared the Methodist Hymnal; and carried him in 1907 to the point of condemning the church proscriptions against dancing, theatregoing, and card playing.
Goodsell's disposition to tolerance made him particularly valuable as an ecclesiastical ambassador. Much of the time after 1888, he was traveling, not only throughout America but in Europe and the Orient as well.
In June 1860, Goodsell was married to Sarah F. Loweree of Flushing, Long Island.
