Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In Memoriam: Testimonials to the Life and Character of the Late Francis Jackson Ox Monday forenoon, November 18th, the resilience of the late Francis Jackson, Esq., in Hollis Street, Boston, was thronged by an admiring and sympathizing gathering of relatives, friends, neighbors, and fellow-citizens, (Music Hall could readily have been crowded with such, had an opportunity been given,) to pay the last sad tribute of affection and respect to his character and memory. In reference to the funeral services, Mr. Jackson left the following request, which, of course, was complied with to the letter: - "At my decease and burial, I desire that forms and ceremonies may be avoided, and all emblems of mourning and processions to the grave. Such irrational and wasteful customs rest 011 fashion or superstition; certainly, not on reason or common sense. The dead body is of no more consequence than the old clothes that covered it. Nothing should be wasted on the dead, when there is so much ignorance and suffering among the living." Addresses were made by Wm. Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, and Samuel May, Jr., in the following order. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
