(American life, with a purpose to show the issues thus far...)
American life, with a purpose to show the issues thus far of our experiment in free institutions, it is fitting that some report should be made of the influences that have shaped the national mind, and determined in any important degree or re spect its intellectual and moral character. A wellconsidered account of these influences would be of very great value to the student of history, the statesman and philosopher, not merely as throwing light on our own social problem, but as illustrating the general law of human progress. This book is offered as a modest contribution to that knowledge. Transcendentalism, as it is called, the transcendental movement, was an important factor in American life. Though local in activity, limited in scope, brief in dura tion, engaging but a comparatively small number of in dividuals, and passing over the upper regions of the mind, it left a broad and deep trace on ideas and insti tutions, (it affected thinkers, swayed politicians, guided moralists, inspired philanthropists, created reformers.

(Excerpt from Stories of the Patriarchs School lessons, ...)
Excerpt from Stories of the Patriarchs School lessons, to tell the Old Testament stories in a way to interest his young hearers, and to give them at the same time a glimpse of the noble thoughts they hid behind their veils. A few of these have been written out, and are here printed. It will be seen at a glance that they are connected by no thread of ideas, and are grouped with no view to the systematic unfolding of truth. The hidden sense has been drawn out in accordance with no consistent principles of interpretation, and has been presented in a practical, not at all in a doctrinal form. The moral rather than the Spirit ual meaning has been sought for, this being the meaning which his little auditors could best, if not alone, apprehend.

A word of explanation seems to be necessary Many years ago I proposed writing something in memory of Dr Frothingham but abandoned the project on account of the meagerness of the biographical material Within the twelvemonth a warm friend and admirer of his asked me to prepare a memoir Then the matter was reviewed once more and it occurred to me that some reminiscences of my father might be woven into a sketch of his time This has been attempted with what success others must judge So much is certain that if I did not undertake the task nobody else would This will account for the mixture of denominational concerns with personal details It is needless to say that the author writes as a historian not as an advocate Octavius Brooks Frothingham

He was born in Boston on the 26th of November 1822, son of Nathaniel Langdon Frothingham (1793- 1870), a prominent Unitarian preacher of Boston, and through his mother's family related to Phillips Brooks.
He graduated from Harvard College in 1843 and from the Divinity School in 1846.
He was pastor of the North Unitarian church of Salem, Massachusetts, in 1847-1855. From 1855 to 1860 he was pastor of a new Unitarian society in Jersey City, where he gave up the Lord's Supper, thinking that it ministered to self-satisfaction; and it was as a radical Unitarian that he became pastor of another young church in New York City in 1860. Indeed in 1864 he was recognized as leader of the radicals after his reply to Dr Hedge's address to the graduating students of the Divinity School on Anti-Supernaturalism in the Pulpit. In 1865, when he had practically given up " transcendentalism, " his church building was sold and his congregation began to worship in Lyric Hall under the name of the Independent Liberal Church; in 1875 they removed to the Masonic Temple, but four years later ill- health compelled Frothingham's resignation, and the church dissolved. Paralysis threatened him and he never fully recovered his health; in 1881 he returned to Boston, where he died on the 27th of November 1895. To this later period of his life belongs his best literary work. While he was in New York he was for a time art critic of the Tribune.

Always himself on the unpopular side and an able but thoroughly fair critic of the majority, he habitually underestimated his own worth; he was not only an anti-slavery leader when abolition was not popular even in New England, and a radical and rationalist when it was impossible for him to stay conveniently in the Unitarian Church, but he was the first president of the Free Religious Association (1867) and an early and ardent disciple of Darwin and Spencer. It is a mistake to say that he grew more conservative in later years; but bis judgment grew r ore generous and catholic. He was a greater orator than man of letters, and his sermons in New York were delivered to large audiences, averaging one thousand at the Masonic Temple, and were printed each week; in eloquence and in the charm of his spoken word he was probably surpassed in his day by none save George William Curtis. Personally he seemed cold and distant, partly because of his impressive appearance, and partly because of his own modesty, which made him backward in seeking friendships.
On March 23, 1847, he married Caroline Martha Curtis.
