Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life, Letters, and Posthumous Works of Fredrika Bremer When noble and distinguished individuals have finished their pilgrimage upon earth, a more general desire is usually felt to become acquainted with every thing relating to them - with every thing in connection with them - during their journey from the cradle to the grave. A wish has accordingly been expressed in the Old as well as in the New World, that a sketch of the life of Fredrika Bremer might be written and published by some person who was dear to her, - some friend, who fully understood how to judge of her and her writings, and who was perfectly acquainted with even the most trifling circumstances of her life, and able to represent the same faithfully. It is a matter of great interest to contemplate, in remarkable characters, the innate natural disposition of the child, and to watch its development; but it is more interesting still to mark the outward relations of life, under which the child has grown up, - and which always have such a material influence upon the young mind, - the struggles and the trials it has had to undergo in the position in the world in which it has pleased the Almighty to place it, there to let circumstances and adversities, often not known by man, be its best teacher.
