Excerpt from The Friendships of Mary Russell Mitford, Vol. 1 of 2: As Recorded in Letters From Her Literary Correspondents
There is something dear to us in every object associated with those we have loved or admired. The dwelling-place of a celebrated person, though now merely an ivy-covered ruin, possesses something of national interest, and the gift of a departed friend, be it but a faded flower, is treasured as inestimably precious. This feeling is sometimes purely sentimental, and exists even where the connection of the memorial with the person has been accidental and unimportant. But I imagine that in most cases here is some solid foundation for such emotions.
