Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Memorial of the Life and Character of James Bowen Everhart
The highest tribute that can be paid to the memory of those we admire, is to cherish their excellent qualities, manly virtues, and intel lectual attainments. Coleridge says: What is that which first strikes us, and strikes us at once, in a man of education; and which, among educated men, so instantly distinguishes the man of superior mind. It is the unpre meditated and evidently habitual arrangement of his words, grounded on the habit of foresee ing, in each integral part, or (more plainly) in every sentence, the whole that he then intends to communicate. Such marked and decided characteristics were found in the life of our departed friend, the late James Bowen Ever hart.
