 Journals and Letters of the Rev. Henry Martyn, B.D.
Martyn's life, to have published such a volume; its preparation was prevented by that sudden summons which called him into his master's presence.
That the intimate friend of Henry Martyn should become his biographer; that one whose mind was distinguished by the same refined delicacy, and whose soul was equally penetrated with the same divine grace; should delineate his portraiture, was eminently fit: and the execution of the work attests this appropriateness.
Pew materials indeed can be equal to those afforded by the Journals of Henry Martyn.] From the possibility of such a-thought, the Editor of the present volume would revolt, and he desires therefore to give it to the world merely as a supplement to Henry Martyn's memoir.

 Henry Martyn Leland
Henry was a cousin of my great-grandfather, Carlos Leland--not a close relative, but since most of the Lelands in the U.S. share a common ancestor in an earlier Henry Leland (who immigrated from England to Vermont in the 17th century), we all tend to feel a sense of being one family.
Henry Leland was an inventor and industrialist--though he got there by being a technician and a perfectionist.
Henry saw that more precise grinding was needed for the pistons and cylinders, and produced workable parts for the new brake system.

In 1802 Martyn was ordained into the Church of England and offered himself to the Society for Missions to serve abroad, but concerns for the welfare of his family forced him to seek a more lucrative appointment with the East India Company as a chaplain.
Martyn was still anxious to do missionary work and was encouraged by the reversal of policy of the East India Company in 1810 which allowed, for the first time, missionaries into the areas under its control.
The basis of the collection is formed of original letters of Martyn held at Ridley Hall College, Cambridge and placed on permanent loan in the Henry Martyn Centre.

The Life and Letters of Henry Martyn has long been in the ranks of one of the most influential biographies for servants of God in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and I think that it will continue to be in our new century.
Martyn, however, “was deeply conscious that it is God that giveth the increase, and when he did not see, or thought he did not see, that increase, he meekly submitted to the Divine will, and patiently continued in well-doing.
At such times, also, more particularly would he turn, with joyful thankfulness, to the contemplation of the successful labours of his brethren in the ministry; for he had no mean and unholy envy respecting them; nor had he what is so often allied to it, an arrogant or domineering temper towards his flock” (p.411).

 HOASM: England Through 1635
English music flourished under Henry VIII, owing in no small measure to his interest in it, and also under Edward VI and Mary, to reach, at the end of Elizabeth's reign, a level rarely approached thereafter.
As the English grew in riches and power and acquired an increasing knowledge of the art products of the continent through the importation of foreign talent and through travel, they abandoned their temporary insularity in cultural matters and eagerly assimilated, though at a late date, the ideas and ideals of the Italian Renaissance.
Henry Lawes wrote the music to Milton's masque Comus(1634), and also composed many fine songs.

When young Arran Islay decides to live as a brigand, he declares war on "those who live by stealing property--life and liberty--from its rightful owners." Adopting the name of his murdered friend, Henry Martyn, he sets sail in search of fortune and revenge.
Other Islay family members are fully delineated and play important roles in this story, written in an evocatively archaic style reminiscent of both the classic adventure tales familiar from childhood and the space operas of 1930s pulp fiction.
The author has a flair for inventive future terminology and imaginative concepts: " Legos : The architectural style was still referred to by its legendary name." Smith blends intergalactic action, heroics and derring-do into a futuristic political thriller, and the result is a delight: piracy in high space, penned with panache.
