Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoir and Remains, Vol. 1 of 2
This little book is the outcome of a desire on the part of his friends for some per manent memorial of thelife and work of one who was not only regarded by them with feelings of high esteem, but whose attractive personality inspired warm affec tion in those who knew him best. The few pages which deal with his biography are the brief record of a career cut short before it had attained the plenitude of its power: still, there was more than promise; there was performance of a very substantial kind, performance which would certainly have led to wider recognition and higher preferment had life been spared.
