( About the Book Biographical books, or bios, are detaile...)
About the Book Biographical books, or bios, are detailed descriptions of a person's life. A biography is more than simply the basic facts like education, work, relationships, and death. It portrays a person's experience of major life events. A biography presents a subject's life story, emphasizing certain aspects of his or her life, and including intimate details of their experiences, which may include an analysis of their personality. Biographical works are generally non-fiction, but fictional works can also be used to portray a person's life. An in-depth form of biographical coverage is referred to as legacy writing. An authorized biography refers to a book written with the permission, cooperation, and at times, participation of the subject or the subject's heirs. An autobiography, on the other hand, is written by the person themselves, sometimes with the assistance of a collaborator or “ghostwriter”. Also in this Book Our offering includes memoirs, or collections of memories that individuals have written about moments or events, both public or private, that took place in their lives. While the assertions made in these works are generally taken to be factual, the biases or perspectives of the authors are often present. Historically, memoirs have been defined as a subcategory of biography or autobiography, however the genre is differentiated in form, since it presents a narrower focus. While a biography or autobiography tells the story "of a life", a memoir generally tells the story "from a life", tending to emphasize touchstone events and turning points in the author's life experience. The authors are referred to as memoirists or memorialists. About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

(Excerpt from Jesus of Nazareth: His Life for the Young N...)
Excerpt from Jesus of Nazareth: His Life for the Young Now, I am far from pretending, that in the United States, or in England, youth of twelve or fifteen are more advanced in general knowledge than their fellows in Germany. In some things, commonly, they do not know as much. But I believe that the training in the Bible which children receive in good families in England, Scotland, and the United States, and in the Sunday school as conducted in these countries, puts them far in advance of French and German children in knowledge of the Scriptures, and in ability to understand and to dis cuss subjects that grow out of the stories and the doctrines of the Bible. And, besides this, they come earlier to the habit of thinking, talking, and judging of such subjects for themselves.

(Xitt. THE JEW TESTAMENT CODE ON SLAVERY. Ephesians 6: 5-1...)
Xitt. THE JEW TESTAMENT CODE ON SLAVERY. Ephesians 6: 5-10. Seryants, be obedient to them that are your masters aooording to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of Grod from the heart; with good-will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men ;knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. A nd, ye masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatening; knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with Him. The epistle to the Ephesians contains the Christtian code for domestic life. The same for substance is repeated in the epistle to the Colossians. Husbands and wives, parents and children, masters and servants, are severally instructed in their personal and relative duties. To study these duties, to preach upon them, to practice them, is as much a part of the Gospel as to study, preach, and practice the primary duties of repentance and faith.

Thompson was born in Philadelphia, Pa. in 1819, the son of Isaac and Mary Anne (Hanson) Thompson, and a descendant of John Thompson who emigrated from London to Stratford, Connecticut, in 1635. His father was a druggist.
Thompson graduated from Yale College in 1838, studied for the ministry at Andover and New Haven, and, as a favorite pupil of Nathaniel W. Taylor, was drawn early into an influential circle of clergymen.
In consequence he was ordained, October 28, 1840, as pastor of the Chapel Street Church (later the Church of the Redeemer) at New Haven and was called thence in 1845 to the Broadway Tabernacle, New York, one of the strategic outposts of New England Congregationalism. To this large and discriminating congregation he ministered successfully for a quarter-century. He was one of the conspicuous leaders of the home missionary movement in his denomination, was the instigator of the Albany Congregationalist Conference of 1852, and worked unceasingly to arouse public opinion in behalf of the negro slaves.
He made two visits to Europe, Palestine, and Egypt, and acquired some esteem as an Egyptologist. While still in New Haven he had helped Leonard Bacon to found the New Englander, and he wrote frequently for it and for Bibliotheca Sacra. With Bacon, Richard Salter Storrs, and Joshua Leavitt he was a member of the editorial board of the Independent from its organization at the close of 1848, but as the result of differences with the proprietor, Henry Chandler Bowen, he resigned in 1862. During this period he published some fifteen books, besides numerous pamphlets, sermons, lectures, and contributions to periodicals and reference works. He wrote well, and evidently with ease. Among his books were memoirs of the younger Timothy Dwight (1844), David Hale (1850), David Tappan Stoddard (1858), and Bryant Gray (1864); Egypt Past and Present (1856); Love and Penalty, or Eternal Punishment consistent with the Fatherhood of God (1860); Man in Genesis and in Geology (1869); The Theology of Christ from His Own Words (1870); and Home Worship (1871). He had no new ideas and was a thorough scholar in no department of knowledge, but he readily assimilated ideas and information from all sides and presented them in an intelligible form, he served no cause or institution perfunctorily, and his capacity for work was awe-inspiring.
Thompson was a delegate of the Sanitary Commission with Sherman's army. In 1871 his health broke down, and with scant hope of future usefulness ahead of him he resigned his charge. William Mackergo Taylor became his successor. His congregation and some personal friends presented him with $70, 000. He removed to Germany and established himself in Berlin, where he worked desultorily on a monograph on the Hebrews in ancient Egypt. As his health improved he appeared in society, preached frequently, and soon became an active publicist, devoting himself to the complicated ecclesiastical problems of the Reich, and to strengthening comity between the United States and Germany. He lectured in England, Scotland, Germany, Switzerland, France, and Italy; published several volumes, including Church and State in the United States (1873), The United States as a Nation (1877), and The Workman: His False Friends and His True Friends (1879); interested himself in international law; attended conventions of all kinds and delivered numerous occasional addresses. He spoke German and French readily. He kept alert mentally to the last, in spite of pain, headaches, partial paralysis, and the humiliation of an attempt to blackmail him. He died of an apoplectic stroke and was buried in the graveyard of the Jerusalem Church in Berlin. His brother-in-law edited a posthumous volume of American Comments on European Questions (1884).

He was married twice: on May 5, 1841, to Lucy Olivia Bartlett of Portsmouth, N. H. , who bore him five children and died in 1852; and on October 25, 1853, to Elizabeth Coit Gilman of New York, a sister of Daniel Coit Gilman. By her he had one son, William Gilman Thompson. Two of his sons fought in the Civil War; the elder, John Hanson, died in the service and was commemorated by his father in The Sergeant's Memorial (1863).
