An Historical Account Of My Own Life Vol 1 Of 2

Excerpt from An Historical Account of My Own Life, Vol. 1 of 2: With Some Reflections on the Times I Have Lived in (1671-1731) Dr. Calamy lias been long distinguished by his Defences of English Protestant Nonconformity, and by his very interesting biographies of Nonconformists. The Historical Account of his Life and Times, now first printed, is taken from a copy of his autograph which had remained in the family of Sir Walter Stirling, Bart, for more than half a century. Of the existence of another copy, in the possession of the Authors immediate family, I was informed, several years since, by the late Edmund Calamy, Escp whose son, the Rev. Michael Calamy, at my request, has favoured me with the use of it; though he is not, in the least, responsible for this publication. Both MSS. were, no doubt, correct and early copies of the Author's autograph. Mr. Calainy's MS. (which is in complete preservation, ) was collated with the original by the Author's son, the Rev. Edmund Calamy, who died in 1755. Sir Walter Stirling's MS. has every appearance of having been as early a copy.
