Excerpt from Memoirs and Reminiscences of the Late Prof. George Bush: Being, for the Most Part, Voluntary Contributions From Different Friends, Who Have Kindly Consented to This Memorial of His WorthHere let a special remark be made. Nothing could be more averse to the wishes of our learned and hon ored friend, than any kind or manner of laudation whatever. It was his positive request, made to his wife a short time before he died, not to publish any thing for the vain purpose of landing him. Yet by sugges tion made to him that something might be wanted, he did consent, in case of a possible source of aid to his widow and fatherless children, that some simple me moir might be published. We hope the friendly reader will remember this. He went so far as to enjoin it upon his sister, of Millville, N. Y., not to furnish a single scrap for a memoir of such an unworthy being as himself.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
