Excerpt from The Life of Mrs. Sherwood: Chiefly Autobiographical, With Extracts From Mr. Sherwood's Journal During His Imprisonment in France and Residence in India Too often have I blamed writers, especially those who are first presenting themselves before the public, for the apologetic preface, that has probably been drawn forth from feelings somewhat resembling mine at this moment -a desire to make an excuse for themselves for what they probably fear needs an excuse. In the present case, all I have to do is to relate my situation simply, and cir cumstances will plead for me. A beloved mother, from whom I had scarcely ever been separated, was removed from me by a heavenly Father's will, so unexpectedly that it was not till all consciousness had left her, and till she was struggling with the, last death agony, that I comprehended what was taking place.
