Excerpt from Memoir of Rev. Nathan W. Fiske, Professor of Intellectual and Moral Philosophy in Amherst College: Together With Selections From His Sermons and Other Writings
I have said in the Memoir, that Professor Fishe, in the popular sense of the term, had but little imagina tion. Ishould not wonder, if some of his admirers were to differ from me on this point; and I must con fess, that a more careful reading of his journal and dis courses has led me to suspect, that I have not given him due credit in that particular. I still think, how ever, that his fancy lacked the wings which sometimes bear writers much inferior to him, above his range; but if by imagination is meant vividness of conception, and the power of presenting images vividly to other minds, Professor Fiske certainly was not deficient. I have inserted extracts from his voyage, in the Memoir, of extraordinary vivacity and beauty.
