Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Remains of Mrs. Catherine Winslow: A Member of the American Mission at Madras, India, Including a Journal and Letters Shortly after the death of Mrs. Catharine Winslow at Madras, an earnest wish was expressed by her husband that her journal and letters, with a brief memoir, might be given to the public. There was, however, in the minds of some of her friends an objection to this, on the ground that the life of one Mrs. Winslow had already been written. But upon mature reflection, and after years have elapsed since the papers were put into my hands, it occurred to me that a volume of remains - embracing parts of her journal and some of her correspondence - might be prepared for the benefit more especially of the young. These writings possessed a certain kind of merit which it was thought would attract the attention of youth, and promote an interest on the subject of missions in hearts where perhaps no such feeling had been entertained. It is with this view that the hand of fraternal affection, after repeated solicitations, has undertaken to arrange and publish a few of Mrs. W´s writings. As to their literary merit, the reader will judge for himself; and as to their touching character, they will no doubt speak to the sensibilities of many a pious heart.
