Présentation de l'éditeur

Bancroft Library DEDICATION. To God snoblest handiwork and true mens highest conception of ideal perfection, a good, well-balanced woman, true in all the relationships of home and domestic life, and as little NY deficient in social intercourse with the outside world beyond, pious without pretension, erudite without pedantry, charitable without parade, soft of speech but duly assertive, stickler for the social proprieties but void of prudery, ever genial but or never frivolous; such is an imperfect pen-portraiture of a few of the amiable and lovable traits of one seen in my minds eye and the one best known in actual life. It is my blessed privilege to have undisputed ownership to such a priceless treasure. Yes! to thee, A deline, wife of my bosom and solace of declining age, at this the terminal period of the fitful dream, I pledge renewed troth, and say, as Ferdinand said to Prospero sdaughter in the incipiency of new-born love, rfor several virtues Have I liked several women; never any With so full soul, but some defect in her Did quarrel with the noblest grace she owed, And put it to the foil: But you, Oyou, So perfect, and so peerless, are created Of every creatures best. To thee, dear wife, is dedicated this, my initial and, most probably, ultimate book.
