LIFE AND LETTERS OF JOSEPH HARDY NEESIMA

14/372

iv PREFACE. times saddening to think that a long life of unre· corded benefactions should have no memorial. But this thought is not true to fact. No word of a loving heart, no act of a helping hand, is lost ; and their re­sults, as wrought into the lives of men, are worthier memorials than the page that rehearses them or the tablet that commemorates them. Still, in the prepa­ration of these pages, which necessarily record one act of a life which, to those who knew it, was but the sum of such, it has been a pleasure to the son to throw as it were this side light upon a noble nature without violating a father's wishes. ARTHUR SHERBURNE HARDY. HANOVER, N. H., May 21, 1891.
