Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Gathered Leaflets
IT is with the deepest respect and 'reverence that I dedicate this little book to the revered memory of Mr. Richard Dowden (richard) of Rathlee, Cork. As these pages will have small chance of being much read beyond our local homes, his familiar name will meet with a warm greeting, recalling to many the image' of the true Christian gentleman who moved in their midst some twenty golden years ago; lending to every philanthropic labour, and social gathering, the charm of his own peculiarly pure and genial nature, his large-hearted generosity, and all-embracing sympathy, adopted every good cause, and worked for it with zealous activity independent of sect or class. But every man has his pet project. Outside the sacred cause of temperance, the welfare and happiness of our Institution was nearest to his heart, and from us the deepest debt of gratitude is due. He laboured for our interest with a paternal, enthusiastic devotion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
