Book Description
Excerpt from A Collection From the Newspaper Writings of Nathaniel Peabody Rogers Yet I know myself too well not to know that I shall best discharge the duty assigned me by letting others, who were more constantly in his society, and more closely allied to him than myself, speak in my stead. Being more frequently in his presence, laboring under his eye in the same cause, and partaking largely of his spirit - seeing how manfully he here his cross while he lived and suffered, and how calmly, after all his labors and sufferings, he could die, - the language in which they speak of our common friend, is much more touching, because much more true to nature, than any that, without their aid, I could command. Much of what follows, therefore, is compiled from an obituary notice of Mr. Rogers, from the pen of John R. French, which appeared in The Herald of Freedom of Oct. 23, 1846, and from an article by Richard Hildreth, inserted in the same paper, from the Boston Chrono type, and a few other brief notices, transferred from other journals into the same number of the Herald.
