Excerpt from The Congregational Quarterly, 1863, Vol. 5Tax world. Degenerate as it is, has been blessed, perhaps at every age, with here and there an individual whose high intel lectual and moral level, and whose even and consistent life no less challenge ad miration than they defy exact and fitting description. Suitable words elude your most careful pursuit in any attempt to express what indeed is obvious, and im pressive, and truly characteristic, but cannot be appmpriately translated into language. Like a sphere in geometry, complete and beautiful to look upon, but furnishing no angle or sinuosity or gularity as a starting point for satisfactory observation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
