Excerpt from A Collection From the Newspaper Writings of Nathaniel Peabody Rogers Yet I know myself too well not to know that I shall best discharge the duty assigned me by letting others, who were more constantly in his society, and more closely allied to him than myself, speak in my stead. Being more frequently in his presence, laboring under his eye in the same cause, and partaking largely of his spirit - seeing how manfully he here his cross while he lived and suffered, and how calmly, after all his labors and sufferings, he could die, - the language in which they speak of our common friend, is much more touching, because much more true to nature, than any that, without their aid, I could command. Much of what follows, therefore, is compiled from an obituary notice of Mr. Rogers, from the pen of John R. French, which appeared in The Herald of Freedom of Oct. 23, 1846, and from an article by Richard Hildreth, inserted in the same paper, from the Boston Chrono type, and a few other brief notices, transferred from other journals into the same number of the Herald.

Excerpt from A Collection From the Newspaper Writings of Nathaniel Peabody Rogers In collecting, from the abundance of Mr. Rogers' newspaper writings, articles sufficient to fill the proposed "volume of four hundred pages," the constant difficulty has been to decide "What shall be omitted?" All the productions of his peerless pen, scattered with such generous profusion through various newspaper columns - all are worthy of more permanent and extensive circulation. Where all are so beautifully in earnest and so full of important thoughts, a selection is not to be made, and so a collection, only, has been attempted. The articles composing this volume have no peculiar excellency of style or sentiment over scores of others standing by their side in the columns from whence they were taken. The aim has been to take such as, from the subjects treated of, might interest the greater number of the friends of the lamented author, and such too as seemed fitted peculiarly for still further work in advancing the great interests to which their author gave the last years of his life with such complete devotion. No attempt has been made to establish a consistent character for our friend, for "consistency" was no part of his aim while living; constant, uninterrupted progress - Going Forward - the reader will notice; never anxious for the sentiment spoken yesterday, but always careful to give utterance to the honest convictions of the hour. Such was he in life - let such be his reputation now that he rests from his labors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
