Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Life and Letters of George Perkins Marsh, Vol. 1 of 2
It only remains to acknowledge the great kindness of the late Professor S. F. Baird, of the Smithsonian Institution, and others, in furnishing letters; and of the Rev. Dr. Francis Brown, Professor in the Union Theological Seminary in New York, Whose advice and encouragement, together with that of other friends - some of Whom have sent frequent words of cheer from amidst the languor of painful disease - Were indispensable to the completion of a work undertaken in weakness and in fear.
