Excerpt from Incidents and Anecdotes of Rev. Edward T. Taylor: For Over Forty Years Pastor of the Seaman's Bethel, Boston Father Taylor died April the 5th, 1871. This note, the first in the book, but the last written, is being penned Doc. 15, 1871, eight months and ten days from that event. To collect, arrange, unite, and pass through the press, in so short a time, a collection of his sayings and doings, without help from a scrap of his own writing, or of any matter written to him, would be a work of no small labor, if no other duties had pressed their attention. But to inject this work into a crowded profession has necessitated unusual industry. Its many marks of haste, therefore, will, I trust, be pardoned under these circumstances. To increase this burden, my friend Judge Russell, who had kindly offered to help me in the undertaking, was taken violently ill a few weeks after the death of Father Taylor, and left for Europe the middle of May, and again for Fayal the middle of October, so that his contributions were not as largo as had been anticipated and desired. They were, however, of much value, and have been embodied in the text of several chapters. To Mrs. Dora Brigham, the eldest daughter of Father Taylor, especial thanks are due for her constant and liberal aid both in contributions and in suggestions. Considerable portions of the chapters on her mother are from her pen. I also acknowledge with great pleasure the generous co-operation of many other of bis friends and admirers.
