A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In ofi Fering to the world a memorial, however slight, of one whose name is publicly known and honored, an Editor should be less anxious for credit to himself in the performance of the task, than that the subject may not suffer by biographical handling. It is, therefore, not without some sense of the incompleteness of this little volume as a sketch, and its failure as an entire picture, of Samuel Gurney, that the following pages are sent forth. The difficulty in their compilation has not been small, and has arisen less from the scarcity of material and illustrations of the history of his long and active life, than from the fact of their being so intimately connected with those members of his family whose lives have been long before the public, that it has been deemed undesirable and needless by his friends to enter afresh on their detail, and to swell the family biographies by any volume of size or pretension. Little, therefore, was left to the work of compiling; there were few letters, and no journal from which to select. The former, while possessing much interest to those to whom they were addressed, and evidencing his characteristic kindly feeling and good sense.
