Excerpt from Six Letters on the Necessity and Practicability of a National Currency: And the Principle and Measures Essential to It Happily the public mind is now far better prepared for the adoption of a system founded on the principles referred to, than at any former period of our history. The first great step in the right direction has been taken in the act making Trea sury notes a legal tender. The progress of opinion, both in and out of Congress, in favor of this novel and important measure, has been rapid and extensive. What now seems wanting to confirm the public confidence in the safety and utility of this provision, and lead to the application of it to Treasury notes for issue as permanent National currency, is information on the subject, and the proposal of an adequate and feasible plan.

Excerpt from The Epoch of Creation: The Scripture Doctrine Contrasted With the Geological Theory The fact that God has made a revelation of his mind and will to man, may not be openly denied but while his Word is admitted and professedly respected, theories are broached at variance with its doctrines, or even irreconcileable with its origin; and which, being associated with all that currently passes for phi losophy and science, are, therefore, only the more imposing to those who would be held in repute for their mental independence and enlargement. Minds of this class are always the first to be captivated by anything which has the aspect of being a new view; and hence, should infidel sentiments ever obtain in the community, it will be chiefly through their influence.

Excerpt from The Plenary Inspiration of the Holy Scriptures NO question concerning Revealed Religion is Of higher importance in itself, or in its bearings at the present time, than that which immediately respects the plenary Inspiration Of the Holy Scriptures. What is the nature of that Inspiration by which the Divine thoughts are so conveyed to man and SO expressed in human language, that the words Of the sacred Text are the words Of God? This is the question. The solu tion of it requires, as well with respect to any one as to any other portion Of what is contained in the In Spired volume, such an exposition Of the nature and effects Of the Inspiration, as Shall perfectly reconcile the fact, that the words as inscribed by the sacred pen men, are the words Of God, with the fact, that the writ ing consists Of the ordinary language in the peculiar style and idioms Of the respective writers.

Eleazar Lord, the son of Nathan and Mary (Nevins) Lord, was born on September 9, 1788 at Franklin, Connecticut, United States.
Eleazar Lord received his early education in the district school. In 1808 he began to prepare for college, studying with Reverend Andrew Lee, pastor of the Congregational church at Hanover (now Lisbon). In 1810 he entered Andover Theological Seminary, two years later he was licensed to preach by the Haverhill Association, and after supplying various pulpits for a year, he entered the College of New Jersey (Princeton) to complete his studies for ordination. Within a few months, however, serious eye trouble compelled him to give up his chosen calling.
At the age of sixteen Lord left home to become a clerk at Norwich. Later he went to New York City, where three brothers were already established as merchants. After travel in Europe, 1817-1818, he commenced a notable business career. He was the founder and first president, 1821-1834, of the Manhattan Fire Insurance Company, and first president (1833) of the New York and Erie Railroad Company, which he served again as president in 1839-1841 and 1844-1845. He early showed ability as a political lobbyist and in 1819, 1820, and 1823-1824 visited Washington as a representative of the merchants of New York City to promote the then new idea of a high protective tariff.
He published a book in 1829 entitled Principles of Currency and Banking, in which he advocated the "Free Banking System" later established in New York and other states. This was reprinted, with additions, under the title, Credit, Currency, and Banking (1834) and was followed by other publications in the same field. His Six Letters on the Necessity and Practicability of a National Currency (1862) attracted the attention of W. H. Seward, and Lord was summoned to the Capital to advise on the national fiscal policies, but it does not appear that he played any prominent part in the active measures by which the "Free Banking System" was actually established.
His interest in religious work was life-long. In 1815 he called the meeting which resulted in the formation of the New York Sunday School Union Society, which he served as secretary, 1818-1826, and president, 1826-1836. He devoted much time to organizing Sunday Schools and editing lesson material. He was a member of the council (1831 - 1834) of the University of the City of New York.
In addition to his other activities he gave such time as he could spare to writing. His earliest notable book was A Compendious History of the Principal Protestant Missions to the Heathen (1813). In 1825 he edited Lempriere's Universal Biography in two volumes, and, with his brother David Nevins Lord contributed to it some eight hundred sketches of American subjects.
At the age of forty-eight he retired from many of his business pursuits and thence-forth, at Piermont, New York, overlooking the Hudson, devoted a large part of his time to literary work. He also contributed frequently to the Theological and Literary Journal edited by his brother David.

Lord was a charter member and active leader in the American Home Missionary Society. He was its first secretary, and wrote its first report.
On July 12, 1824, Lord married Elizabeth, only daughter of Jeremiah H. Pierson of Ramapo, New York, and to them seven children were born. She died in 1833, and two years later, December 31, 1835, he married Ruth, daughter of Deacon Eben Thompson, of East Windsor, Connecticut.
