Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Philanthropic Work of Josephine Shaw Lowell: Containing a Biographical Sketch of Her Life, Together With a Selection of Her Public Papers and Private Letters, Collected and Arranged for Publication A double purpose has impelled the undertaking which this volume represents. Seven years´ association with Mrs. Lowell on the New York State Board of Charities early convinced me of the originality and value, both of the work she accomplished and the official papers which she from time to time presented to the Board, and this impression was afterwards strengthened by evidences of her active and useful work in other fields of social service. While many of her papers are preserved in the records of the State Board, and others might be discovered scattered in the reports and proceedings of the different charitable organizations to which she belonged, not a few, of no less interest and merit, had never been printed and were in danger of being lost. The rescue from oblivion of these fugitive writings, and their inclusion with a selection from those already published elsewhere, under the covers of one volume, would, it seemed manifest, be a worthy task. Not long after Mrs. Lowell´s death, the sentiments expressed above were explained to Miss Lowell, and I was commissioned to discover some literary friend of her mother, both competent and willing to compile such a work.
