Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Selection From the Letters of the Late Sarah Grubb, Formerly Sarah Lynes
We find that an apprehension prevails with some friends, that our mother destroyed her papers shortly before her death, and left an injunction that nothing should be published respecting her. We believe this report to be without foundation, and a portion of the present volume was carefully preserved by herself, and endorsed in her own hand-writing. When about thirty-two or thirty-three years of age, she destroyed some journals which she had previously kept, and never resumed the practice. She also strongly objected to any testimony concerning her being prepared in the usual way, from a fear of the exaltation of the creature, and a belief that these documents often had that tendency but we think it will be seen that the same objection does not apply to the publication of what came from her own pen.
