Iu 1832, when Dr. 1'. was only twenty four years of age, lie was chosen the successor of Dr. J no. T. I'ressly, as Professor ol Theology, and his hoiife became the Seminary of the A. R. Synod, South.

Much of the euceess of the College and Seminary in the early periods of their history was traceable to his itiflneuce. It will be considered no disparagement to others for fa 1o state that which is an admitted fact, viz., that to liiin more than to any other, tlio Synod oi the South is indebted for the eurly successes ifind present prosperity of her Institutions. And to his foresight, to his self sacrificing devotion, the Synod is indebted to cn amount which she will never be able to repay. Dr. Preaslv'o talents were of a high order, His mind was brilliant, rather limn profound perhaps. During the greater portion of hi* public career, his labors were too abundant to allow of cTose application to stn3y. And at any rate his mind was a practical one, and it busied itself rather about useful schemes than erudite theories. He was emphatically a working man?a man of good sense, of varied attainments, of large views, and, above all, of unquestioned piety. As a preacher, Dr. Pressly was always in* terefcting nnd often eloquent. When time and opportunity allowed of thorough preparation he waa one of tho most interfiling preachers that we have ever heard. His written discourses are models worthV of nresf-rvnf.mn.
