Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoir of Reginald Heber, D.D: Bishop of Calcutta In the course of a few years after the decease of the inestimable prelate, Bishop Heber, his widow prepared and published a memoir of his life, which was first printed in England, and afterwards in New York, in two octavo volumes. These volumes contained a great amount of matter which the general reader would not expect to find in a work of biography, furnished chiefly from the European travels of the subject of the memoir before he entered upon the Christian ministry, and from the efforts of his pen on historical topics. In the department of the memoir itself, also, numerous portions found their place which, from their local character, ceased to be interesting in this country and at this distance of time; whilst the size and price of Mrs. Heber´s work rendered it beyond the reach of the great mass of readers who might desire to make themselves acquainted with the life and labors of one of the brightest geniuses of modern times. In this country Bishop Heber is not known as his character, piety, and talents deserve, or as his zeal, efforts, and example in the holy cause of religion demand.
