NOTE.

This little sketch is the best, because the only, tribute to the memoryof its subject that the writer, amid the pressure of varied duties, canfind time to render.

Prepared, in great part, for use in a memorial discourse, it has notbeen rewritten, although extended by additions which perhaps mar theharmony of its first design.

The fact that it was shaped to be spoken rather than to beread,—designed for the ear rather than for the eye,—will account, tothose accustomed to public address, for some of its unsuitableness ofstyle for the form in which it now appears.
