O knihe

Excerpt from The King Memorial

On Monday morning I took a wide range over the town with Joshua King, who, by the way, is not only the successor but in some things the repetition of his father. He represents him in per son, and has many of his qualities. He has remodeled the grounds around the old family mansion, amplifying and embellishing them with much judgment. The house itself is unchanged, except by paint and the introduction of certain articles of furniture and taste ful decorations - testimo.nials of the proprietor's repeated visits to Europe. Here, being a bachelor, he has gathered some of his nieces, and here he receives the members of the King dynasty down to the third generation - all seeming to regard it as the Jerusalem of the family. The summer gathering here is delightful, bringing hither the refinements of the best society of New York, Philadelphia and other places.
