Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Passages From the Correspondence: And Other Papers of Rufus W. Griswold Rufus Wilmot Griswold was born on the 15th of February 1815, at Benson, Vermont, where his father, also named Rufus, was a small farmer. He claimed descent from G:Griswold, of Kenilworth, one of whose sons settled in Windsor, and another at Say brook, Conn. On his mother´s side he was of the ninth generation of the descendants of T: Mayhew, the first settler of Martha´s Vineyard. The character of his early surrroundings may be inferred from the twô letters which follo: - Dear Rufus: We received your letter on the 21 Dec.1838, and could I write now as I could once I should have answered it before this; but I am old and not capable of writing at all. I have a desire to write once more to you. We expect Silas is dead, and where and how he died we know ¬ but if we had evidence that he was prepared how it would blunt the keen edge of affliction! Rufus, are you a Christian? Are you prepared to meet your God? If not be entreated to set about that important work. Look away to the blessed Saviour for help. You cannot think how glad we should be to see you and your family you know not how lonesome we are. Our family are all gone seemingly. Chauncy has not been home since some time in the fall. Permelia has been home once since. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
