No eloquence can equal that of the fact. Each member of the auditory feels more than the orator dare hope to be able to ex press. The voice of God is recognized by all, and man's fittest part is to be silent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

John Greenleaf Whittier was born on December 2, 1805 in New York City. His father and grandfather, both named Richard, were brass-founders, who emigrated from Birmingham, England, in 1791 and developed a prosperous industry in New York. His mother, Mary Ann Rollinson, was the daughter of William Rollinson.
A precocious child, Whittingham learned to read and write in his second year, and at the age when other children were learning the alphabet he could read and write English, Latin, Greek, French, and Hebrew. These he learned chiefly from his parents and not at school. In his nineteenth year he was graduated from the General Theological Seminary, New York City.
He became a librarian of the General Theological Seminary, collaborating with Prof. Samuel Turner in translating and editing An Introduction to the Old Testament (1827), from the German of Johann Jahn. He was ordained deacon (March 11, 1827) by Bishop John H. Hobart in Trinity Church, New York, and advanced to the priesthood (December 17, 1829) by Bishop John Croes in St. Mark's Church, Orange, N. J. , where he served as rector (1829 - 30). He was rector of St. Luke's Church, New York (1831 - 36), and professor of ecclesiastical history at the General Theological Seminary (1836 - 40). He was elected bishop of Maryland on May 28, 1840, and consecrated in St. Paul's Church, Baltimore, September 17. During the stormy years from 1857 to 1865 he was sorely tried. He was a man of positive convictions, which had been formed in the North, and, as two-thirds of the laity and three-fifths of the clergy of Maryland were allied with the Confederacy, his position was most difficult and delicate. His ruling that there should be no change in the Prayer-Book services used in public worship aroused violent opposition both during and after the Civil War. He was deeply interested in education and labored tirelessly for the development of church schools. He was also a pioneer in the revival of community life, several brotherhoods and sisterhoods being organized under his auspices. In his early years he was in doctrinal agreement with Keble, Pusey, and the early leaders of the Oxford Movement, but later he became alarmed at its ritual developments. As an ecclesiastical statesman he foresaw the impending growth of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Maryland, and advocated the building of a great national cathedral in Washington and the division of the diocese. Whittingham was a scholarly ecclesiastic of a kind now well-nigh extinct. His reading and research covered not only classical, critical, and Biblical literature, but every department of sacred and secular learning, and he and his agents ransacked the world for rare and valuable books, both ancient and modern. He died in Orange, N. J.
His choice library of 17, 000 volumes, which he bequeathed to the diocese of Maryland, became the nucleus of the Maryland Diocesan Library. The breadth and depth of his learning is evidenced in his published writings, which include The Pursuit of Knowledge (1837), The Voice of the Lord (1841), The Godly Quietness of the Church (1842), The Priesthood in the Church (1842), The Body of Christ (1843), The Apostle in His Master's House (1844), The Work of the Ministry in a Day of Rebuke (1846), Gifts and Their Right Estimate (1855), The Work of Christ by His Ministry (1856), Conformity in Worship (1857), and Fifteen Sermons (1880). He also translated or edited a number of theological works. There are admirable paintings of Whittingham at the Diocesan House in Baltimore and the General Theological Seminary in New York which reveal a remarkable blend of ascetic self-discipline, intellectual ability, and large-hearted benevolence.

His character and accomplishments were accurately evaluated by Bishop W. C. Doane of Albany, who described him as "full and running over with every kind of learning , a powerful preacher, an able debater, an irresistible controversialist, " his word "an authority in the House of Bishops which no one questioned".
On April 15, 1830, he was married to Hannah Harrison, by whom he had a son and two daughters.
