Excerpt from A Discourse in Memory of Archibald Alexander Hodge: Professor in the Theological Seminary, Princeton, N. J I fear that I have little fitness for the service I have been so kindly invited to perform, beyond the fact that I had a share in Dr. Hodge's confidence, that I loved him dearly, and that during the short period of my acquaintance with him I had come to know him well. It has occurred to me more than once since the preparation of this Discourse was undertaken, that some one who had known him longer and whose record of memories reaches back to the years of a common boyhood would have done ampler justice to this occasion.

Archibald Alexander (1772–1851) is known for his warm, experimental Calvinism, being the first professor at Old Princeton Seminary and for being a father of early American presbyterianism. Charles Hodge (1797–1878), a major theologian in his own right, was his student, and took down Alexander’s catechetical lectures on the first third of systematic theology in 1818. Besides the inherent interest in Alexander’s thought, being a link between the old and new worlds, and what was being taught at Princeton Seminary for the formation of ministers from its inception, this book, in its clear and concise presentation, is a great recommendation for someone who wants to get into Christian doctrine or read a systematic theology for the first time. Of specific interest is Alexander’s epistemology and apologetics, manifesting his Scottish common-sense realism. The Foreward by Rev. Maurice Roberts and Introduction by Dr. James Garretson thoroughly contextualize this treasure of reformed history.
