It would seem as if the whole experience of a lifetime were sometimes summed up in the few solemn words uttered at moment when the spirit takes its departure — words of wisdom, of warning, or of radiant happiness and peace. The world has long been familiar with the last sayings of a few eminent persons, but no one, so far as we know, has ever undertaken the task which Rev. Dr. Frederic Rowland Marvin has performed so well in his volume, The Last Words of Distinguished Men and Women”. The volume contains over 200 pages, and relates to the last hours of great men and women of all ages and lands. The work is the evident result of a vast amount of research, and is edited with exceeding care and good taste. - Summary by Leslie's Illustrated Weekly
