Book excerpt: Excerpt from Last Gleanings He left the Colony without the health for which he sought its Shores. He started and edited a newspaper in London; he wrote for the London daily press and other first-class English periodi cals he published two or three little books which our most fastidious critics praised; he founded the London Library Company, became its first secretary, and just when it began to flourish, he died - only thirty years Of age - his naturally weak and sickness-shattered frame completely worn out by work. He left a clearly beloved wife and young family almost unprovided for, in spite Of all his efi'orts to secure their comfort. It is for their sake that these Last Gleanings from his desk have been garnered. How he loved his home, and those who made it home, may be guessed from the following extract from a series Of 'etchings' he wrote for his newspaper.
