Excerpt from Memorial Volume The writer of this brief sketch of General Moorhead's long and well rounded life claims nothing more than to have compiled a continuous and connected narrative from different sources at his command. The sketch has not been made as long and full as it might easily have been, because of the accompanying papers, addresses, resolutions, letters, etc., which set forth the life and character of the General from different standpoints, and as seen by different individuals. The estimate of his character, as given by any one person, is almost valueless as compared with that oneness of Opinion, that harmony of sentiment, that agree ment of judgment that may be discerned in all these various utterances that come from so many different sources.

Excerpt from Henry Whitehead, 1825 1896: A Memorial Sketch This memorial sketch, the preparation of which has been entrusted to me by Mrs. Whitehead, is an attempt to give some idea of the character and work of a man of rare qualities of mind and heart, who impressed all who knew him as a unique personality from whom they were ever learning new lessons of wisdom and charity. I have endeavoured, by aid of the particulars placed at my disposal, to exhibit the outward influences that moulded his early years, and to give some picture of his life's work in the different spheres of labour wherein his lot was cast. I have felt, however, that my task might be best fulfilled by letting him, as far as possible, speak for himself, and reveal his own character in written and reported words. My thanks are due to the many friends who have supplemented. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
