Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This Memoir has been prepared by request of the family, and through strong impulses of personal affection; for we were of the same age, and had worked side by side for thirty years. But in depicting a character so elevated and sincere, one feels obliged to restrain the natural tendency to eulogium.<br><br>I have especially tried to represent the environment and development of Dr. Boyce’s early life in Charleston, at Brown University, and at Princeton Theological Seminary, and to bring out his labors as editor in Charleston, pastor in Columbia, and professor in Furman University. The part which he took in the war, and in South Carolina politics, is not overlooked.<br><br>As his recognized life-work was the foundation and establishment of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, a biography of him could hardly fail to comprise a history of that institution. But this is for the most part thrown into distinct chapters, which some readers can pass over if they like. For the historical sketch of the institution I have carefully used printed and manuscript records, besides recollections which go back almost to the beginning of the movement.
