Book Description

Excerpt from Memoir and Writings of Mrs. Hannah Maynard Pickard: Late Wife of Rev. Humphrey Pickard, A. M., Principal of the Wesleyan Academy at Mount Allison, Sackville N. B The subject of these pages had a native character com posed of the finest materials, which were but improved in delicacy by the touch of mental culture, and the in uence of divine grace. And with all the genius which, in its opening brilliancy, gave delightful promise of future usefulness and fame, the sweetness of her disposition, and the purity and strength of her social virtues, constituted the peculiar charm of her society. Her love was cheering while yet she min gled personally in the circles of earth and now that she is gone, we can but grieve that her bright presence no longer blesses these mortal abodes. But what earth has lost, heaven has gained and if only the pure and good, such as she, inhabit that better land, well may we desire to depart to join their hallowed company.
