This little sketch is the best, because the only, tribute to the memory of its subject that the writer, amid the pressure of varied duties, can find time to render.
Prepared, in great part, for use in a memorial discourse, it has not been rewritten, although extended by additions which perhaps mar the harmony of its first design.
The fact that it was shaped to be spoken rather than to be read,—designed for the ear rather than for the eye,—will account, to those accustomed to public address, for some of its unsuitableness of style for the form in which it now appears.
