FROM REV. HENRY CLAY TRUMBULL,
Secretary of New England Department of Missions of the American Sunday-school Union.
Hartford, Ct., Oct. 1869.
Geo. H. Napheys, M.D.—
My Dear Sir: Understanding, from my long acquaintance with you, your thoroughness of mental culture, your delicacy of sentiment, and your sound good sense, I was prepared to approve heartily the tone and style of your new work, “The Physical Life of Woman,” when its advance sheets were first placed in my hands.
A close examination of it convinces me that it is a book which can be read by every woman to her instruction and advantage. Its manner is unexceptionable. Its style is remarkably simple. Its substance evidences your professional knowledge and your extensive study. I believe it needs only to be brought to notice to commend itself widely. I think you have done an excellent work in its preparation.
Sincerely your friend,
H. CLAY TRUMBULL.
