The Literary News, Vol. 4: A Monthly Journal of Current Literature (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from The Literary News, Vol. 4: A Monthly Journal of Current Literature

In her domestic life Mrs. Child had nothing to mar her pleasure. Her husband was a man of great mental capacity, for whom she maintained an nu bounded affection to the day of her death. Writing of him in her journal before their marriage, she says: Saw Mr. Child at Mr. Curtis's. He is the most gallant man that has lived since the sixteenth century, and needs nothing but helmet, shield, and chain-armor to make him a complete knight of chivalry. Speaking of him later in life, she remarks: Once when he said, 'i wish. For your sake, dear, I were as rich as Croesus,' I answered, 'you are Croesus, for you are king of Lydia.' How often he used to quote that!
