"Autobiography and Letters of Orville Dewey, D.D." by Orville Dewey is a personal memoir combined with selected correspondence written in the late 19th century. The book provides an intimate glimpse into the life and thoughts of Orville Dewey, a prominent clergyman and figure in American religious history, reflecting on his upbringing, career, and the influential people he encountered throughout his life. Through this autobiographical narrative, readers can expect to explore themes of spirituality, personal development, and the evolution of Dewey's philosophical views. The opening of the autobiography sets the tone for a reflective journey, initiated by Dewey's daughter, who expresses her desire to document her father's significant yet understated contributions to society. It details his early memories in Sheffield, Massachusetts, highlighting his childhood experiences, family influences, and formative relationships that shaped his character. Dewey recalls moments of reverence for his father's authority, the impact of his religious upbringing, and his struggles with Calvinism, all while providing rich descriptions of the societal and cultural context of his youth. This beginning establishes a foundation for the exploration of Dewey's personal and professional experiences, foreshadowing the deep insights into humanity and faith that will unfold in the subsequent chapters.
