Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoir of Sarah B. Judson: Member of the American Mission to Burmah It has occurred to me, in glancing over the little narrative I have prepared, that those friends of Mrs. Judson who have kindly furnished copies of her verses, may be disappointed at seeing so few of them selected for use. Readers of another class will regret that more of the minute particulars of her missionary-life are not given ; as, the precise number of schools in which she was at different times engaged, her efforts for individual conversion, &c. &c. Others again, will recollect the letters which were so interesting to them, and, forgetting that very few can read them with their eyes and hearts, will wonder that such pleasant memorials of her they loved should not be placed within the reach of all. To each of these I would reply, that in taking a view of her whole life, my first aim has been to preserve the nice balance, the faultless symmetry of her character; to present her as she appeared under all circumstances - the Woman and the Christian. And, in the second place, I have thought it not amiss to make some sacrifices to brevity. She had a poetic eye and heart - a genial love for the flowers, the streams, the stars, the beautiful in nature and whatever is pure and elevated in man - but she was not a mere poetess.
