Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Sermon Preached After the Death of Mrs. Eliza Frothingham and Mrs. Cornelia F. Wolcott, Mother and Daughter: The Latter of Whom Died June 1, and the Former June 5, 1850
This Sermon is printed for private circulation, at the request of the family of those of whom it is a small memorial. Had it seemed to me becoming, and could I have trusted myself, it would have been a grateful task to have depicted more distinctly and at length the exalted characters of a Mother and Sister so dear to me; for more faultless characters I have never known, - more beautiful lives never seen. The several relations of child, sister, wife, mother, and friend, - relations intrinsically great, and whose greatness they made apparent, - both of them filled with equal fidelity and grace, with equal strength and gentleness, with equal vivacity and steadiness, with equal sweetness and dignity, with a perfection that cannot be excelled. Both of them were truly great. We felt the force of their virtuous will, as much as the kindliness of their affections. We reverenced them no less than we loved.
