Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoir of Margaret Stephen Kennedy More than a year has passed since the subject of this biography, now presented to the public, was taken to her home above. Remembering the strong testimonies to her worth and usefulness conveyed in letters addressed to me on occasion on her death, it occurred to me, in my loneliness, with my abundant leisure, I should attempt to give, with some fulness, an account of her long and chequered career, with its varied experiences of work, toil, and suffering, at times of sore trial, great perplexity, and great peril. On making known my wish to intimate friends, in whose judgement I could trust, I received letters strongly approving of my design, and expressing the opinion that such a record was fitted to be eminently useful. In 1884 a work of which I was the author was published under the title of "Life and Work in Benares and Kumaon, 1839-1877." A large edition was issued, which had a gratifying sale. The publisher informs me he cannot supply me with a single copy. The work now sent to the press may be considered the complement of that volume. In both works I have followed the chronological order. Frequent references are made to the same events. I have very occasionally quoted from myself, but the details are widely different. In this volume prominence is given to my dear wife´s domestic character. All who knew her were aware her domestic feelings were unusually strong and tender.
