Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoir of Mrs. Eliza Nelson Fryer, 1847-1910 In compiling this brief outline of the biography of a rare and noble woman, of whom it could be said most truthfully that "None knew her but to love her, None named her but to praise," the chief difficulty consists in the fact that through her self-abnegation and modesty many of the most characteristic features of her career have not been left on record and only exist in the memories of relatives and confidential friends who are scattered far and wide in different lands. She was eminently one of those who "do good by stealth and blush to find it fame," and hence a complete portrayal of her beautiful and noteworthy life is impossible. While it is a comparatively easy task to rehearse the simple facts which go to make up the framework of a life of average length and of vigorous mentality, it is evident that to look into the inmost recesses, to trace the animating purposes, and to resolve the everyday activities into their constituent elements, laying bare the sensitive soul which is the real personage, would require far more difficult and delicate treatment and the pen of a most intimate friend. The only available materials are some of her letters and diaries together with the facts furnished by her beloved husband and by those friends who had the good fortune to be the most intimately acquainted with her. An attempt will be made to weave these diversified threads into a connected biographical sketch. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
