HIS book has been written for two classes,—the moral
will welcome the speeches as mines rich in fact and argument, which will be of great service to them. And as a matter of history, too, it is due to this noble woman that her best thoughts and efforts should be given to the world in some permanent form.
The latter class will, I trust, find enough in the book besides speeches to elicit their deepest interest.
I commend to men, especially, the careful reading of the addresses, which will throw much light on the duties of citizenship, and will be "strong meat" for the ablest minds. They will discover before they have read far that "there is no sex in intellect."
I commend the whole to my sisters. This is a woman's book, written about a great woman-an ornament to her sex, by a man. All women can learn from these pages what kind of a female character commands the profoundest respect and homage of ever man whose esteem is worth having.
For the uplifting of humanity, and the extension of the kingdom of Him whom my great friend tenderly loved and faithfully served, I send this volume forth on its mission, begging for it the generous favor of a considerate public. A. M. HILLS. 2186 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, O., March 21, 1895.
