Synopsis

Sermon Occasioned By The Death Of His Excellency Dewitt Clinton, Late Governor Of The State Of New-York: Preached In St. George's Church, N.Y., On Sunday, February 24, 1828 by James Milnor. This volume presents Milnor's sermon delivered at St. George's Church in New York following the death of Dewitt Clinton, the state’s chief magistrate. Milnor reflects on the duties of civil rulers under law and the obligations of the governed, and extols Clinton's public service, scholarship, philanthropy, and devout faith. The publication, issued at the request of St. George's Vestry in 1828, also contains memorial addresses and related material that honor Clinton’s contributions to education, religion, and civic improvement, as well as reflections on the providence of God in public affairs.
