Excerpt from The History of Greenland, Vol. 1 of 2: Including an Account of the Mission Carried on by the United Brethren in That Country
Without laying much stress upon the incident our selves, or expecting our readers so to do, we cannot dismiss the subject without adverting to the opinion of one whose authority once stood high in the world of letters. We have it from a very respectable quarter, that when the old translation of the work was shown to the late Dr. Johnson, he declared that very few books had ever affected him so deeply, and that though the, style was quaint and rugged, the man who did not re lish the first part was no philosopher, and he who could not enjoy the second no Christian.
