William Pinkney

Excerpt from Memoir of John H. Alexander, LL. D No one could feel more painfully than I do the embarrassment of the position, which I am called, by your too indulgent kindness, to occupy to-night; or more sincerely regret, that the duty had not devolved upon another, better qualified, by habits of thought and literary tastes and pursuits, to discharge it in a manner worthy of your deceased comrade and your selves. He was my friend, and for full forty years no shadow ever rested on the stream of our friendship. Not so much as a transient cloud crossed the horizon that bounded it. Fresh as the first dewy breath of the morning, that broke on its birth, was its peaceful close. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
