Excerpt from The Voice of Truth: Or the Comforts of Life and Their ReversesImagine, if you please, that you are walking about in that beautifully arranged cemetery where the remains of the great Mendelssohn are sepulchered, and reading the various inscriptions on the tombstones dedicated to those who sleep in the ashes of Hebron. While thus leisurely moving along-for who would like to disturb the peace of the dead and the silence of the grave - your attention will be attracted to a very short inscription, reading thus Here hes Mendelssohn, while the monuments of others carved and ornamented with extended epitaphs. - ~conclude not hastily. - This work before you is not the production of a Mendelssohn, nor is it my intention to draw the slight est parallel between this great man and myself, although I wish I could.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
