Visits of Mercy is a historical book written by Ezra Stiles Ely, an American Presbyterian minister, and published in 1813. The book is a journal of Ely's experiences as the stated preacher to the Hospital and Almshouse in the City of New York in 1811. The Hospital and Almshouse were institutions that provided medical care and shelter to the poor and needy in the city.Ely's journal details his daily visits to the Hospital and Almshouse, where he ministered to the sick and destitute. He describes the conditions he encountered, the people he met, and the challenges he faced in his work. Ely also reflects on the spiritual and moral aspects of his ministry, offering insights into his beliefs and values as a Christian preacher.The book provides a vivid portrait of life in early 19th-century New York City, offering glimpses into the social, economic, and religious realities of the time. It also sheds light on the role of religion in the lives of the poor and marginalized, and on the efforts of religious leaders to provide spiritual and material support to those in need.Overall, Visits of Mercy is a valuable historical document that offers a unique perspective on the social and religious history of early 19th-century America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
