Excerpt from The Millennium: An Essay Read to the General Convention of New-Hampshire, June, 1853 The convention have assigned to me, as a theme for this essay, The modern theory of Millenarianism. I do not understand them to expect a discussion of this subject, by way of defence, or apology, which would re quire a volume but a statement, which may be brought within the limits proper to one of the many exercises of this occasion. I honor the courtesy and liberality of my brethren. It is due to them, and to myself, not to decline their gene rous appointment. I will endeavor not to interfere with their other engagements, nor obtrude greatly upon their patience, nor make severe demands upon their charity.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Nathan Lord was born on November 28, 1792 at South Berwick, Maine, United States, the son of John and Mehitabel (Perkins) Lord and a descendant of Nathan Lord of Kent, England, who settled in Kittery, Maine, about 1652.
Lord was educated at the local academy and at Bowdoin College, where he graduated in 1809. Later he began the study of theology, completing his work in the seminary at Andover in 1815. In May 1816 he was ordained pastor of the Congregational Church at Amherst, New Hampshire.
Lord had been working as a teacher at Phillips Exeter Academy for two years. In 1817 he became a pastor at the Congregationalist Church in Andover, serving twelve years. Certain liberals, however, withdrew from membership in his church and formed a separate congregation.
In 1821 he was elected a trustee of Dartmouth College and in 1828, president. At this time conditions there were far from satisfactory, since the institution was still feeling the effects of its contest with the state in respect to its charter (1816 - 1819). The new president assumed the task of rehabilitation with notable success and great improvements were soon in evidence; but his administration as a whole can hardly be considered noteworthy for financial or other material progress. He was not a pioneer in educational policy, although one innovation, the abolition of honors and prizes, introduced in 1830, attracted some attention--mostly unfavorable. He was an able executive and disciplinarian, however, and like his contemporary Mark Hopkins at Williams, a great teacher, whose character exercised a deep influence on students and associates. For many years he conducted courses in theology and ethics. Intellectually, he represented a school which was rapidly passing, and his views on the great question of the day--slavery--eventually cost him his position.
His views on the question of slavery are sell stated in Letter of Inquiry to Ministers of all Denominations on Slavery (1854), A Northern Presbyter's Second Letter (1855), and in A Letter to J. M. Conrad, Esq. , on Slavery (1859). The last-named first appeared in the Richmond Daily Whig, Richmond, Virginia, and denounced the recent raid at Harpers Ferry.
A True Picture of Abolition (1863) subjected him to widespread censure, and in July 1863, the trustees, while refusing to remove him from office, expressed such disapproval that he felt obliged to resign. In a dignified statement he defended his views and denied the right of the board to impose any religious, political, or ethical test not authorized by the charter.
After retirement he spent his last years in Hanover, his friends having provided an annuity in recognition of his long and scantily remunerated services. His last publication, a letter to the alumni on the occasion of the college centennial in 1869, continues to emphasize his opposition to the current philosophy which stressed "the ability, not the weakness of man; his dignity, and not his sinfulness and shame; his rights, and not his duties; and the reorganization of society upon the basis of universal freedom, equality and fraternity.

Lord supported the Liberty Party.
After Mexican War, Lord became a decided supporter of slavery as an institution. His thesis was simple and logical. Slavery was sanctioned by the Bible, it was therefore divinely ordained and not to be questioned on political, humanitarian, or economic grounds. He had no sympathy with "a philosophy which makes happiness the end of living, " or with "the sentiment and romance which had infected the descendants of the Puritans. "
In spite of the intensity of his views, however, he had what many men of his type have lacked, a genuine sense of humor and a large measure of tolerance and kindliness. Furthermore, he was fond of outdoor life, had athletic tastes and good health, and whatever he may have thought of ultimate human destiny, he enjoyed association with his fellows.
On July 24, 1816 Lord married Elizabeth King Leland of Saco, Maine.
