Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Tribute of Affection to the Memory of the Late Rev. George W. Cole A Writer has somewhere said, "There are some persons, upon whose foreheads, every man can read the sentence of death, written in the lines of a lingering sickness; but they sometimes hear the passing bell ring for stronger men, even long before their own knell, calls at the house of their mother earth, to open her door and make a bed for them." In the minds of those who have known the circumstances of my health, the last three or four years, it would have excited but little surprise, had my own knell been rung long ere this. But in regard to the subject of this Tribute, we seemed to be mutually agreed in the impression, that, although other members of the family would probably find a premature grave, he must live to be venerable for age, wisdom and usefulness. These expectations, however, were destined to a sudden and mournful disappointment. From the time of his death my heart has strongly inclined me to offer some Tribute to his memory; although until recently my design had exclusive reference to friends. At the time of his death, the care of a parish, and the state of my health, which became so feeble as soon to oblige me to relinquish my Pastoral relations, rendered such an undertaking impracticable. So deep was my interest, however, that I could not relinquish the object. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
