Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life and Letters of John Greenleaf Whittier, Vol. 1 of 2 The thought that at some time the story of his life would be called for was not a pleasant one to Mr. Whittier; but fearing that, in the absence of correct data, a biography full of inaccuracies might be given to the public, about ten years before his death he authorized the collection of material for such a work, and assisted the friend to whom it was confided by suggestions of a general character. He had never kept a journal, nor charged his memory with dates, but he remembered his correspondents, and gave information which resulted in a large collection of letters, illustrating nearly every year of his life. The editor has regarded the use of this material as a sacred trust, and in accordance with Mr. Whittier´s wish has allowed him, as far as practicable, to speak for himself. In editorial work, and in his correspondence, he always expressed himself freely upon every subject which interested him.
