Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Heart-Offering to the Memory of the Loved and the Lost This little book is a heart-offering to the memory of the Wife of my Youth. It is not intended for the public eye. It is not published. Criticism has no right to censure, for it asks not for its praise. It is primarily intended for two to whom she was an angel in life, and who fondly hope she is their guardian angel still. It is for two, who wish that memory may have always before its eye some visible and enduring memorial of the goodness and loveliness of her life, the thrilling incidents connected with her last sickness, and her triumphant death. But it is also for those who were more or less connected with her and myself, by the ties of consanguinity, affection, and friendship, who loved her when living, and lament her now that she is no more. Her features so truthfully portrayed by the engraver, and her prominent moral characteristics which I have endeavored to portray, will serve, I hope, to keep her in greener remembrance.
