Excerpt from Memorials of Mrs. Henry Wood A lengthier record might have been given of the deeds and words of a strangely beautiful life; but length would avail nothing. The records in their brevity are but a faint re ection of Mrs. Henry Wood; multiplied, the re ection would still be faint. In one respect some of the finest traits of her character are revealed in the very absence of such materials as the biographer finds most available and most effective. It never struck her to accumulate records, deeming that some day the world would wish to hear about her life. She did not with this view systematically keep journals, nor did she preserve the letters of others or retain copies of her own letters. SO far as such elements are concerned, these Memorials may be found want ing: but the writer has named his work Memorials rather than a Life or a Biography and he has aimed rather at giving some suggestion of the spirit in which she lived and worked than at presenting a formal and detailed memoir.
