Excerpt from A Tour Around New York, and My Summer Acre: Being the Recreations of Mr. Felix Oldbop
As the son of a clergyman it was my good-fortune to know all the eminent clergymen of that day - at least, to know them as an observant boy does. Our family were ardent supporters of Bishop Onderdonk through all his troubles: he had a patriarchal way with us children which seemed to leave a benediction be hind him. Dr. Berrian, rector of Trinity Parish, was personally all kindness, but I thought him the poorest preacher I was compelled to hear. It was said of the good old man that when a country clergyman, half starved on a salary of $500, came to him and asked his influence to get him another charge, he remarked.
