Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Henry A. Wise of Virginia: 1806-1876 Barton Haxall Wise, the author of this volume, departed this life February 6, 1899, at the early age of thirty-three. He was the youngest and last surviving child of the marriage of the Rev. Henry A. Wise and Harriet Haxall, and grandson of Henry A. Wise, whose life he has written. He came into the world in troublous times. He was born at the crisis of the great civil strife, which threatened the existence of the Union; and the brief span of his earthly journey was punctuated with more than the ordinary number of landmarks of domestic bereavement. His father, a brilliant young Episcopalian divine, was classmate at college with Phillips Brooks of Boston, Bishop Potter of New York, Bishop Randolph of Virginia, and many other distinguished graduates of the Virginia Theological Seminary. They counted him as their peer in learning, eloquence, manliness, and Christian zeal. At the outbreak of the Civil War he was in charge of a church in Philadelphia. Although a noncombatant, his sympathies were with his family and friends, and he returned to his native State. During the war he filled sundry parishes in Virginia, and several children were born to him. Soon after the restoration of peace, he was called to Christ Church in Baltimore, but fell a victim to disease, and died in 1868, just when his eloquence and piety were gaining rapid recognition.
