Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nil Desperandum: The Writer's Motto Adopted in Youth I am now (June, 1883) sixty years of age, and my time pretty fully occupied with public and private duties; but believing I may write some things of interest to my friends, and perhaps of service to others, and which, if I do not write, will never be written, 1 have concluded to give to their writing such spare moments as I may be able to find. Thoughtful people, in advanced years, sometimes erect in quiet spots headstones or monuments on which to inscribe words to be read by those who come after them. I believe I can do no better in this direction than to give in this volume, to some extent, my connection with the early history of the protection of animals in America, and some other work 1 have attempted to do. I was born at Southbridge, Worcester County, Mass., June 5, 1823. Father. My father was the Rev. George Angell, formerly of Providence, R.I.. but who for many years was pastor of the Baptist Church at Southbridge, which under his care grew from a feeble to a large and prosperous church. He died Feb. 18, 1827, at Southbridge, aged 41, leaving no other child. On his tombstone at Southbridge, erected by his church and society, are engraved these words: "He was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost, and much people was added to the Lord." A sketch of his life will be found in "The Annals of the American Baptist Pulpit," by William B. Sprague, D.D., published by Robert Carter & Brothers, 530 Broadway, New York, in 1860.
