the point made some time ago would be emphasized; namely, Mr. Brooks' work had a definite beginning and a definite ending.

On receiving the appointment to this post, for which he had had no special training, he entered upon a preparation. As the best place for study of the subject was Paris, he went abroad September, 1839, and there remained four years.

The next year he returned to Andover and graduated in 1846, fully expecting to devote his life to the ministry; but his health having become impaired during his last term at the Theological School, it seemed better for him to defer, for a season at least, entering the ministry as he had planned, and to engage for a while in teaching, for which his previous experience h
