Excerpt from Life in the Sick-Room: Essays, by Harriet Martneau With an Introduction to the American Edition
Although this work, which cannot fail to be a blessing to humanity, had no name attached to it, yet every line of it so proclaimed its author, that the effort to be lost in her subject was vain. All those in England who read it, found their thoughts and their hearts visiting, with grateful love, the sick-room of her to whom Milnes addressed these beautiful lines in the 'Liberty Bell' for 1843:
To Harriet Martineau.
Christian Endurance.
By Richard Monceton Milnes, M. P. For Pontefract.
Mortal! that standest on a point of time,
With an eternity on either hand,
Thou hast one duty above all sublime,
Where thou art placed, serenely there to stand.
