Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Discourse Commemorative of Professor James L. Kingsley: Delivered by Request of the Faculty, in the Chapel of Yale College, October 29, 1852 It is but a few hours since the intelligence reached me in a remote part of the State, that Professor Kingsley, whom a fortnight since, the evening before leaving town, I had visited and found in comfortable health, was no more. I hurried home as speedily as possible, that I might join in paying the last honors to one whom I had not only loved, but honored during his life. But it is both desirable and proper, in the highest degree, that among these last honors, there should be some duo notice of the life and character of our deceased friend; and there are some reasons why I should undertake the duty. I felt, when this was proposed to me, that our friend whom we are assembled to honor, who has more than once employed his classical pen in giving a funeral tribute to departed colleagues, would have shrunk from doing this at so short notice; and that words more deliberate and chosen, should of right be bestowed upon one who never uttered anything which was not well considered and matured. That such a tribute will be given to him at some future time, by some friend capable of doing justice to his memory, I do not doubt. At present, let me, without anticipating that pleasing, painful office, say what my feelings prompt, and what the occasion seems to call for.
