Synopsis

Tribute To The Memory Of Alexander Mcleod, D.D.: A Discourse Delivered In The Presbyterian Church, Canal Street, New-York, On The Evening Of The 10Th Of March, 1833 by Stephen N. Rowan. This commemorative discourse honors Dr. Alexander McLeod, a leading early 19th-century Reformed Presbyterian pastor in New York, recounting his Scottish origins, education, emigration from Mull to America. The sermon portrays McLeod as a prince and great man, highlighting his intellectual breadth, pastoral success at the Reformed Presbyterian Church in Chambers Street for thirty-two years, and his philanthropy, including support for abolitionist and colonization efforts, Bible distribution, and intercultural dialogue. It records his leadership in church controversies, his restraint in ecumenical relations, and his broad Christian benevolence, with travels to Britain and Europe, where he was warmly received. The narrative interweaves personal memories of his death in 1833 with reflections on virtue, charity, and religious devotion. The piece closes with exhortations to emulate his piety and love among Christians, and with memorial notes and appendices documenting his life and legacy.
