Excerpt from The Path She Trod: A Memorial of Mary Brunette (Foster) Nassau But I am free to acknowledge that the chief incentive in under taking this Memorial was to bring to the View of her daughter the inner character of the mother, whom it was her pathetic fate never to know. I have therefore endeavored less to describe what I and others saw and knew of her work and outside life, but rather from her own diaries, letters, and other writings, to catch her own thoughts, feelings, aspirations, and consecrations, and thus to make, for the daughter, a picture of her mother. This story is therefore of a being whom to revere and love. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
