Excerpt from The Last Days of Bishop Heber I have yielded to the earnest solicitations of many friends, both in India and England, to give publicity to the notices contained in my private Journals of those last days of your beloved and lamented Husband, in which I consider it the highest honour of my life to have been his companion and friend. I did not anticipate, when I first arranged these papers for the press, that they would exceed a few pages; but, while my first object was only to assist and perpetuate the recollections of those who knew and loved him here, I was unwilling to omit any particular, of which I could speak from personal knowledge, that might present this model of a Christian Bishop to the admira tion of those to whom, in the exercise of his high and holy office, he was known only from the voice of general fame.
