Book excerpt: Excerpt from Extracts From the Diary and Correspondence of the Late Amos Lawrence: With a Brief Account of Some Incidents in His Life Among tho papers of the late Amos Lawrence were found copies of a large number of letters addressed to his children. With the hope that the good counsels there given, during a succession of years, extending from their childhood to adult age, might still be made profitable to their descendants, he had caused them to be carefully preserved. These letters, as well as an irregular record of his daily experience, were scattered through many volumes, and required arrangement before they could be of use to those for whom they were intended. As no one else of tho immediate family could conveniently undertake the task, the editor considered it his duty to do that which could not properly be committed to one less nearly connected with the deceased. The present volume, containing what was thought most interesting among those letters and extracts, was accordingly prepared for private circulation; and an edition of one hundred copies was printed and distributed among the nearest relatives and friends.
