(Excerpt from Songs by the Way: Chiefly Devotional, With T...)
Excerpt from Songs by the Way: Chiefly Devotional, With Translations and Imitations To their Author, its Contents have most literally been, songs BY the way loose numbers, framed in the intervals of an arduous avocation, and of severe study. It is deemed sufficient, without resorting to any of those ingenious pleas, which, from time immemorial, have brought the sins of unwilling authors upon the heads of kind and importunate friends, simply to state, that though some parts of the volume were written several years ago, and all of it at periods more or less remote from the present date, no idea of its publication was entertained, until within a very short time before it was put to press. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

George Washington Doane
Edit ProfileEducation
After graduating in 1818 from Union College, Doane read law in the office of Richard Harrison of New York and in 1820 became the sixth student in the General Theological Seminary, which Bishop Hobart was just starting in a room over a saddler’s shop.
Career
Doane was professor of rhetoric and belles-lettres in Washington (now Trinity) College at Hartford, 1825-28, edited for a time the Episcopal Watchman, the Banner of the Church, and, later, the Missionary, was assistant minister and subsequently rector of Trinity Church, Boston, 1828-32.
He was one of the principal promoters of the missionary movement in the Episcopal Church and of Episcopal schools, founding St. Mary’s Hall for girls at Burlington in 1837 and Burlington College for men in 1846. When Parliament repealed the act prohibiting American clergymen from preaching in English churches or taking part in the services, Walter Farquhar Hook, vicar of Leeds, invited him to preach at the consecration of the new parish church in Leeds. Doane’s visit to England (1841) did much to bring the English Church into closer relations with its American offshoot.
Misfortunes fell upon him in the latter part of his life. In his effort to support his educational institutions at Burlington he finally was forced into bankruptcy (March 26, 1849). His own diocesan convention exonerated him of any culpability, but a persistent effort was made to bring him to trial before the House of Bishops. To a man of Doane’s pride the idea of standing trial was even more humiliating than any imputation of guilt, and he announced that he would “make the trial of a bishop hard. ”
By using every resource at his disposal he managed to block proceedings for almost five years, and eventually the case was dismissed. But a heavier blow awaited him. His elder son, George Hobart Doane, turned Catholic, having come to doubt'the efficacy of the ordination received at his father’s hands. On September 15, 1855, the Bishop went through the ordeal of deposing his own son. Only four more years were allowed him, but he served his Church and his God indefatigably to the end.

Religion
Doane was a warm friend of the Tractarian Movement, even going so far as to defend the notorious Tract XC that had brought the Movement to a head.
Personality
Doane was handsome and magnetic and had a resonant voice and great social gifts. His vitality seemed inexhaustible.
On his rector’s salary of $700 a year, together with his none too abundant perquisites, he conducted himself successfully in the grand manner of an English prelate, thereby making numerous enemies but also many friends, and building up a strong diocese.
Connections
In 1829 Doane married Eliza Greene (Callahan) Perkins, widow of James Perkins of Boston. Doane had a son George Hobart Doane.
