Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Address on the Life and Character of Thomas Sherwin
Natural it is that every teacher Should feel an honest pride in the thought Of him. Such a man enno bles and elevates the profession to which he belongs. The whole community of which he is a part is a Sharer in his acquirements. Justice demands that we Should give expression to the respect we cherish. The places which once knew him, know him no more; yet will his memory give new sanctity to those duties to which he consecrated his life. Not to eulogize with exaggerated praise, but to consider the Simple truth, have we come together. A life like his needs only to be seen as it really Was. A career SO identified with quiet duty, cannot, in the nature of things, present startling facts; yet events, however unpretending, and though in some degree familiar, will not be wholly devoid Of interest, associated as they are with the history and development Of such a character.
