Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical Encyclopedia of Massachusetts of the Nineteenth Century No modern achievements of art have been so universally welcomed by all classes of people as those of photography. This is natural, and it displays a gratifying feature of humanity. It illustrates the pleasures of memory, and the sacred associations of the soul in its activity, - in all the beautiful relations of friendship, love, kindred, and parental affection. All alike take pleasure in looking upon the face of the absent, or deceased beloved one, or of the admired and respected person, who has made for himself, or herself, a record of public honor and usefulness, or has been the instrument of good, charity, and happiness in the domestic or social circle. Although the portrait is a counterfeit, it is the nearest approach to the reality that artistic skill can give. If it be so prized for what it represents, 'why should we omit the record of character that commands our respect, or endears the person represented? The record illustrates the beauties of character which afford us pleasure to remember, and profit to contemplate. There is no personal merit in the features, or complexion of the face, nor in the form of the body. They come from nature, wherein the laws of God give birth to physical perfection, and to forms of beauty. But, in the formation of character, the faculties of the human soul are placed in the count less relations of skill, taste, judgment and duty. The high prerogatives of religion and government, the sacred privileges and enjoyments of civil, social and domestic life, are to be carefully studied, observed and practised. As we are true to these perpetual duties and responsibilities, principles are developed which constitute the elements of character, and these are to be found in the examples of men who have made for themselves a record that will be useful to a grateful posterity. As it has been truly said by a distinguished orator, that man is simply a trustee of property, that he is the owner of nothing, not even of himself, so it may be asserted with truth, that all human beings, however great, humble, or insignificant in the eyes of mortals, have a mission to fulfil in the life that has been given them by their Creator. They make a part of the universe, and if they are not made known by any visible record here, no one will presume to question the Infinite Wisdom by denying them a record wherein all will find a place in eternity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical History of Massachusetts, Vol. 2: Biographies and Autobiographies of the Leading Men in the State And these are finding expression in the lives of her leading though not especially conspicuous men men who all Over her area, in busy cities and in rural villages, promote industrial enterprises, develop resources, improve transportation and the comforts Of living, put out the products Of improved agriculture and manufacture, culti vate the refinements of the homes alike of ease and labor, teach, write, cure, comfort, minister, and serve in every walk or profession. The ideals of Massachusetts are illustrated too in the striking fact that these sketches are not of any one class or station or calling. They are of men born with silver spoons in their mouths and of men who went barefoot in their boyhood - men who have had all the advantages of college training yet not been spoiled by it, and men who, though they hardly ever saw the inside of a schoolhouse, have yet made equal mark. It only needs that there should be added to the list due representation of the Massachusetts women who have so abundantly leavened the lump and who in every avenue and phase of life have inspired and refined the atmosphere, helped in the common work, and especially held high the ideals.
