Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memories of Old Friends, 1883: Being Extracts From the Journals and Letters The Journals and Letters from which the following extracts have been chosen were written by Caroline Fox, of Penjerrick, between the year$1835 and 1871. They speak so clearly for themselves that but few words of introduction or explanation are needed. The editors task has been rendered a pleasant one by the help and sympathy of those members of Caroline Foxs family who survive her and keep her memory green. Inasmuch as this book will probably reach the hands of many to whom the family history will be a terra incognita, it becomes necessary that the few following pages of prefatory memoir should accompany her own winged words. On the 24 th of May, 1819, the girl-child of whom we write was born, at Falmouth, into this tough world. She was one of the three children of distinguished parents, distinguished not only by their fine old Quaker lineage, but by the many beautiful qualities which belong to large hearts and minds. Her father, Robert Were Fox, was the eldest of that remarkable family of brothers and sisters whose forebears made Cornwall their resting-place two hundred years ago. The brothers would have made a noticeable group in any country, and were not less conspicuous from their public spirit and philanthropy than from their scientific acumen and attainments, their geniality, and the simplicity and modesty of their lives.
