Light of Other Days e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. A character like that of Mrs. K. Is of difficult portraiture. To delineate its combination of valuable and rare qualities would require peculiar talent. Few minds could appreciate the piety, the acquisition, the sensibility of the gifted being who is now gone. The style of thought and feeling which enstamped her mind belonged peculiarly to that period, and it has, with the generation of her contemporaries, passed away. Mind is formed at present in a different mould from what it was in the last century. The modes of education and the usages of society have changed. Literature and sentiment flow in another channel.
