Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Thomas J. Sawyer, S. T. D., LL. D and of Caroline M. Sawyer
The writing of this book was not coveted by me. I was too conscious of inability to do justice to those of whose lives it treats, and held their memories too highly and too sacredly, to be willing to have any other than the best possible record of their work, and of the noble and beautiful spirit in which it was done, presented to the public. I knew that others could do them greater honor, and prepare better than was possible for myself a more worthy memorial of what they were to the Universalist Church, and of what the Church would accept as a state ment of the service they had rendered.
When, therefore, their family requested me to accept this honor, I very sincerely answered them as above; nor did I presume to attempt such an honorable task until informed that I would have been the choice of Dr. Sawyer. I can only hope that, imperfect as my work is, it has at least the negative character of not having done them injustice.
