Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Discourse: Occasioned by the Death of James Freeman Curtis; And Preached at King's Chapel on Sunday, April 21, 1839
Mr. James Freeman Curtis, Superintendent of the Boston and Worcester Rail-road, was suddenly deprived of life, on the morning of April 13th, 1839, at the age of forty-two years. He died, it may be safely said, in possession of the confidence of the community, and the love of all who knew him. The following discourse was delivered as a tribute to his memory, and a call on the thoughts of the surviving, but not with the remotest view to publication. As, however, it was requested for the use of members of his family, it has been willingly surrendered to their disposal, in the hope that it may afford some comfort to those who mourn, and some assistance hereafter in enabling his children to trace the features of their father's character.
