Rebecca Smith : Brief Memorials of Departed Worth: being sketches of the character, life and death of Hannah Logan Smith, by her daughter... written when very young

'Thank you for your prettily bound little volume which I feel sure must be interesting to all your mother's friends. There is no doubt something gracious always in the simple record of a blameless life, however far from the march of intellect, the clash of science, and the visions and wonders of art, that life may have been passed.

Century: 1850-1899     Reader/Listener/Group: Oscar Wilde      Print: BookManuscript: Sheet
