Miss Sedgwick sdeath, now a little more than three years ago, those who knew and loved her best have been desirous that some printed memorial should exist of a life so beautiful and delightful in itself, and so beneficent in its influence on others. Many besides must join in this wish; for, although few remain of the generation in which she was a shining light, yet they, and those who were still young enough when her books appeared to feel their characters distinctly moulded by her words of tender wis dom, will rejoice, both for their own sakes and that of young er people who knew her not1 that there should be placed on record a fuller sketch of her life than any that has yet appeared. The volume now offered to satisfy this desire is chiefly made up of such extracts from her letters and journals as can be given to the public, and are also enriched by papers from the hands of Mrs. Fanny Kemble, Mrs. Abby H. Gibbons, the Rev. Dr. Dewey, and William Cullen Bryant, Esq. The letters are used in chronological order, and inevitably lack connection, except such as is given by their emanation from one character.
