Anecdotes of Henry Ward Beecher Volume Released
A New York publisher Derby & Jackson issued a volume of passages from Henry Ward Beecher. Beecher did not prepare the work but did not object to publication. The sketch portrays Beecher as free and genial, often preaching in streets and yards, with admired warmth yet occasional forgetfulness. It notes his popular appeal, childlike kindness, and generous, public-spirited giving, contrasted with occasional faults and frugal personal finances. The piece reflects on his influence and the audience’s mixed feelings about his fame.
