Excerpt from Memoir of the Life and Character of Mrs. Mary Anna Boardman: With a Historical Account of Her Forefathers, and Biographical and Genealogical Notices of Many of Her Kindred and Relatives The design of this volume is to delineate the character, and collect the precepts, of a beloved and lamented Mother. It is not a book intended for "the public." Like a family portrait, it will be valued chiefly by the children and relatives of her who is the subject of it. Yet the object contemplated by putting it in print, and distributing it among our kindred and our intimate friends, is beyond the mere indulgence of those domestic feelings which would cherish, with tender affection, the memory of a lovely Mother. There is in the lineaments of her character an unearthly expression, calculated to awaken devout and influential reflections, by a contemplation of her sacred lines of thought and feeling, which exhibit so remarkable a family likeness to the most revered and honored members of that household of faith, of which He who was meek and lowly in heart constitutes the Head, and Chief Example. All who knew her, knew that she belonged to Christ's Holy Family. She is still, we doubt not, one of His, and will assuredly be recognized and owned by Him at the last day; for she was not only endued with His heavenly gifts, but was, in an eminent degree, like Him, meek and lowly in heart. It is the wish of her children, to preserve this beautiful ideal of holiness, which, like a precious jewel, she has bequeathed to us, and to transmit it as a legacy to our descendants. The perusal of the following pages may, we trust, open springs of emotion, and prompt holy thoughts and heavenly aspirations, over which our mother may hereafter rejoice with us. We wish it to be distinctly borne in mind, however, that we do not exhibit her portrait to the public eye.
