“For
twelve months, too, of the time in which I have been occupied upon this
work, I suffered from an affection of the sight, which forbade all use
of the eyes for purposes of study. During that period, now happily
passed, all authorities were consulted under my direction by the
willing eyes of my daughters, all writing was done under my dictation
by their hands. I realized for a time the picture so often painted of
the blind bard, John Milton, dictating his sublime verses to his
daughters. It was a time of sorrow for the student who could not labor
with his own organs in his vocation ; but it was a time of gladness to
the father who felt that he had those who, with willing hearts, could
come to his assistance. To the world this is of no import ; but I could
not conscientiously close this prefatory address without referring to
this circumstance so gratifying to a parent's heart. Were I to dedicate
this work at all, my dedication should be, To FILIAL AFFECTION.”
