Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eulogy Pronounced at the Funeral of George Peabody, at Peabody, Massachusetts, 8 February, 1870 We cannot, indeed, any of us, gather around these cherished remains, and prepare to commit them, tenderly and affectionately, to their mother earth, without a keen sense of personal affliction and bereavement. He was too devoted and loving a brother; he was too kind and thoughtful a kins man; he was too genial and steadfast a friend, not to be missed and mourned by those around me, as few others have ever been missed and mourned here before. Iam not insensible to my own full share of the private and public grief which pervades this community. And yet, my friends, it is, by no means, sorrow alone, which may well be indulged by us all at such an hour as this. Other emotions, I hazard nothing in saying, far other emotions besides those of grief, are, even now, rising and swelling in all our hearts.
