Reprint of the original, first published in 1860.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Mrs. Emily C. Judson It is with unfeigned diffidence that the writer commits this work to the public. A man writing tho memoir of a woman - a digger among Greek roots writing the life of a sensitive child of genius and song - a not very intimate acquaintance delineating a character to which the most thorough knowledge could hardly do justice, constitutes a triad of difficulties which he can scarcely hope to have overcome. The author undertook the work reluctantly, and he will be abundantly satisfied if it shall make upon the mind of the reader that impression of the rare excellence of its subject which the study of her life and letters has left upon his own. Mrs. Judson was a very voluminous correspondent, and the selection from her letters, often of very nearly equal merit, was a matter of considerable difficulty. Sometimes, doubtless, the selection might have been made more wisely, and many have been omitted which, with larger limits, he would gladly have inserted.

Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Mrs. Emily C. Judson The true lover of poetry will not, I trust, complain of the number of her poetical pieces inserted in the memoir, for most of these are such as will always find a welcome, and they will, in fact, enhance very consider ably the interest of the volume. My chief apology, however, for inserting them is that they belong in a preeminent degree to her life. They grow directly out of the cn'tical passages of her history, and they at once illustrate her feelings amidst these scenes, and derive from the circumstances under which they were written fresh force and beauty. They come from her heart more than from her intellect; they belong to her life even more than to her works. In parting with the work, I would express my grati tude to the family and personal friends of Mrs. J udson, who have furnished valuable materials. T0 Rev. Dr. Bright I um under very peculiar obligations for his patient kindness in listening to the reading of my manuscript during the hot month of August, and for the important information and numerous valuable sug gestions by which he has improved the work. With this I submit it to the public, earnestly hoping that it may subserve the great cause to which Mrs. J udson's life was devoted.
