A presentation copy, inscribed in ink on the front blank, "Dr. Ames with the respects of The Author." Darwin Harlow Ranney (1812-1870) was a Middlebury graduate and occasional Baptist pastor; this eminently practical call for church union was of course met with contemporary criticism, some going so far as to hint at a lurking devotion to Baal.
