Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Visions and Voices: With a Biographical Sketch of the Author James Staunton Babcock, was born in South Coventry, Connecticut, Nov. 7th, 1815. From his earliest years he discovered a serious and thoughtful turn, and an eager thirst for knowledge. His parents, who were plain but exemplary persons, inspired him both by precept and example with the principles of genuine morality. His father´s means and occupation as a farmer, did not permit him to give an education to his son of that extent and elegance which his genius seemed to demand. Necessity compelled the young man to learn the occupation of his parents, and his opportunities for reading were few and brief; nor was there, for his encouragement, a single learned or literary person in the circle of his acquaintance. The instinct of his nature, however, impelled him to improve to the utmost every trifling advantage; nor did he suffer any book, paper, or pamphlet that accident threw in his way, to leave his hands without a thorough perusal.
