Life of Frances Power Cobbe, Vol. 2 of 2 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Life of Frances Power Cobbe, Vol. 2 of 2I read lately with much pleasure your preface to the forthcoming edition of Theodore Parker's works. I agree cordially with your estimate of his character. His virtues were of the highest type of the hero and the martyr. His faults, such as they were, were such as are incident to every ardent and earnest soul fighting against wickedness and hypocrisy; faults which colder and more worldly natures easily avoid, faults which he shared with some of the best and noblest of our race 3. Milton, a Luther, and a Paul. When freedom and justice have achieved some conquests yet to come, his memory will be cherished with deeper reverence and affection than it is, except by a small number, now.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
