About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from Annual Obituary Notices of Eminent Persons: Who Have Died in the United States, for 1858 With much labor and anxiety I have finished the compilation of my volume of Obituary Notices for 1858 - the second of the proposed annual series. I presume I have failed to find tices of many persons who bad equal claims for remembrance, and in whom society had equal interest. Until the work becomes more generally kwn, and friends of deceased persons more careful to furnish tices, I fear my omissions and imperfections will occasion disappointments. This work is an endeavor to save from forgetfulness those whose virtues are our inheritance, and whose lives are our worthiest models - an effort, by permanent record, to embalm precious memories, and preserve bio-graphical and historical data, as individual elements of our national and social character. Good men are the stars of the ages in which they live - they illustrate their times. By grouping the dead of single years together, we form interesting pictures of the generations as they pass away, and save from oblivion the men and women who have been most useful in sustaining and perfecting institutions which so well merit the praise and excite the admiration of the nations. It is a grateful tribute we ought to pay, and a benefit to future generations which should t be lost. In my volume for 1857, I anunced my purpose to be to publish annually such Obituary Notices as I could obtain of the men who have originated and developed our institutions - of those whose names should be remembered by the generations to come as the statesmen, the soldiers, the men of science and skill, the sagacious merchants, the eminent clergymen and philanthropists - those who have brought our country to the prosperity and distinction it w enjoys. I have been gratified at the kind opinions of the Press, and of many individuals, in favor of my work. In this volume I have introduced a less number of persons whose names, age, and residence were the only data of interest I had of them. As far as I can, I am desirous to give genealogical facts, family alliances, and social relations in connection with the marked traits of character which make men eminent in any of the departments of life.
