Book Overview

""A Good Old Age"" is a sermon written by Ezra Stiles Gannett and delivered at the Federal Street Meetinghouse in Boston on January 24, 1847. The sermon was occasioned by the death of John Davis, and it aims to provide comfort and guidance to those who are facing the end of their lives.
