Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoir of the Life of Harriet Preble, Containing Portions of Her Correspondence, Journal and Other Writings, Literary and Religious, 1856 The satisfaction I have experienced in reading in the proof-sheets the pages which follow, may, perhaps, be my apology for venturing in these few lines to commend this memoir to general perusal. After making all due allowance for the prepossession arising from personal acquaintance almost from childhood with the admirable woman of whom it is a just portraiture, and for the memory of beautiful days, long past, spent in the bosom of that refined and happy family at Draveil, so often referred to in the following pages, there cannot be any mistake, I would fain believe, in assuming that this volume, presenting indeed only the simple annals of a pure and simple life, and developing the growth of one loving heart and highly cultivated intellect, as yet unimproved by the truths of Christianity, into the perfection of Christian faith and practice, will yet make its way to general favor. Of its influence for good, wherever read, I cannot at all doubt, and its teachings will be all the more effective that they are not didactic but practical, embodied in actual results and not in barren precepts. By mere readers for amusement, moreover, this volume will be found attractive, for it speaks of celebrated times and celebrated persons, and, in a merely literary aspect, it has high claims.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Harriet Hosmer: Letters and Memories The Pater. If in these letters to him she quotes words of praise and cheer which were given to her, it is with the desire of justifying his belief in her power of achievement, and not from any motive of vanity. Her letters were so interwoven with intimate comment and loving words, that it has been difficult to eliminate all of these and still retain what came fresh from her heart. Her conversation was so full of badinage and rhyme, that they seemed naturally to form a part of her writings. At the risk of their appearing unimportant, the merry joke and the familiar doggerel which are characteristic, have been left unpruned. These lighted up the more serious side of her nature and made her the joyous, fascinat ing being that she was, a fit companion to her own Puck!

This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harriet Beecher (Stowe) was born June 14, 1811, in the characteristic New England town of Litchfield, Conn. Her father was the Rev. Dr. Lyman Beecher, a distinguished Calvinistic divine, her mother Roxanna Foote, his first wife. The little new-comer was ushered into a household of happy, healthy children, and found five brothers and sisters awaiting her. The eldest was Catherine, born September 6, 1800. Following her were two sturdy boys, William and Edward; then came Mary, then George, and at last Harriet. Another little Harriet born three years before had died when only one month old, and the fourth daughter was named, in memory of this sister, Harriet Elizabeth Beecher. Just two years after Harriet was born, in the same month, another brother, Henry Ward, was welcomed to the family circle, and after him came Charles, the last of Roxanna Beecher's children. The first memorable incident of Harriet's life was the death of her mother, which occurred when she was four years old, and which ever afterwards remained with her as the tenderest, saddest, and most sacred memory of her childhood. Mrs. Stowe's recollections of her mother are found in a letter to her brother Charles, afterwards published in the "Autobiography and Correspondence of Lyman Beecher." She says:— "I was between three and four years of age when our mother died, and my personal recollections of her are therefore but few. But the deep interest and veneration that she inspired in all who knew her were such that during all my childhood I was constantly hearing her spoken of, and from one friend or another some incident or anecdote of her life was constantly being impressed upon me. "Mother was one of those strong, restful, yet widely sympathetic natures in whom all around seemed to find comfort and repose. The communion between her and my father was a peculiar one. It was an intimacy throughout the whole range of their being. There was no human mind in whose decisions he had greater confidence. Both intellectually and morally he regarded her as the better and stronger portion of himself, and I remember hearing him say that after her death his first sensation was a sort of terror, like that of a child suddenly shut out alone in the dark. "In my own childhood only two incidents of my mother twinkle like rays through the darkness. One was of our all running and dancing out before her from the nursery to the sitting-room one Sabbath morning, and her pleasant voice saying after us, 'Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy, children.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Elizabeth Prentiss: Author of "Stepping Heavenward" Edward o. Jenkins, Printer and 20 North William Street, ' New York. This memoir was undertaken at the request of many of Mrs. Prentiss' old and most trusted friends, who felt that the story of her life should be given to the public. Much of it is in the nature of an autobiography. Her letters, which with extracts from her journals form the larger portion of its contents, begin when she was in her twentieth year, and continue almost to her last hour. They are full of details respecting herself, her home, her friends, and the books she wrote. A simple narra tive, interspersed with personal reminiscences, and varied by a sketch of her father, and passing notices of others, who exerted a moulding influence upon her character, completes the story. A picture is thus presented of the life she lived and its chang ing. Scenes, both on the natural and the spiritual side. While the work may fail to interest some readers, the hope is cher ished that, like stepping heavenward, it will be welcomed into Christian homes and prove a blessing to many hearts; thus realising the desire expressed in one of her last letters Mae/z of my experience of lzfe lzas cost me a great price and 1 mid.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The desire to leave behind me some recollections of my life, has been cherished by me, for many years past; but failing strength or increasing infirmities have prevented its accomplishment. At my suggestion and with what assistance I have been able to render, my son, Ross Charles Edward Stowe, has compiled from my letters and journals, this biography. It is this true story of my life, told for the most part, in my own words and has therefore all the force of an autobiography. It is perhaps much more accurate as to detail and impression than is possible with any autobiography, written later in life. If these pages, shall help those who read them to a firmer trust in God and a deeper sense of His fatherly goodness throughout the days of our earthly pilgrimage I can say with Valiant for Truth in the Pilgrim's Progress! I am going to my Father's and tho with great difficulty, I am got thither, get now, I do not repent me of all the troubles I have been at, to arrive where I am. My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage and my courage and skill to him that can get it."- Harriet Beecher Stowe, Hartford, September 30, 1889
