The Sources of Consolation in Human LifeFb&c Limited, 2015 M06 25 - 460 pages Excerpt from The Sources of Consolation in Human Life The writer of this work, on the Consolations to be found for the Pain and Grief in Human Life, has four reasons for coming forward among the crowd of claimants for attention who now swarm in every avenue of literary publicity. First, his personal experience of trial and sorrow has been deep and varied, as he thinks, in a degree known by few. Second, his reflection on that experience, owing to a studious and meditative lot apart from the material struggle of society, has also, as he believes, been uncommonly earnest and patient Third, in consequence of these facts he feels that he has something to say which is fitted to be of use to the different classes of sufferers always abounding in the world.
