Description

"One of the most interesting little books that has been issued during the season....She gives in this little book a most faithful and intimate picture of her mother's closing years. It is valuable on account of its coming form one who really knew her and lived with her and felt the power and fruitfulness of her rich long life. It tells of her habits of work and play described with simplicity and sympathetic understanding. Mrs. Howe's was a life consecrated to the joy and toil and she works regularly and industriously and much of the secret of her fruitful and happy longevity were due to her attitude toward labor. It is an earnest account, a labor of love, - this little book. Mrs. Elliott aims to share her lesson from the Eleventh Hour of this ancient morn's rich life, with her reader. There are other biographies of Mrs. Howe and other accounts of her life but none more sympathetic nor more true in presenting a loving picture." -The New England Magazine "A tribute of love to the memory of Julia Ward Howe....Takes up the last few months of this famous woman's life. It is literally, as its title put it, 'The Eleventh Hour in the Life of Julia Ward Howe.'" -Review of Reviews and World's Work "This pleasant little book concerning the famous and well-loved woman whose 'autumn was all Indian Summer,' comes from the pen of a sympathetic daughter. The daily routine in the life of a distinguished person is of interest to a limited public only; but in the present case, this medium is successfully employed to convey a clear impression of the spiritual charm of that 'family champagne' whose motto was, 'To learn, to teach, to serve, and to enjoy.'" -The Twentieth Century Magazine "A marvelous record of a wonderful woman." -Literary Digest "The author of 'Roma Beata' has given in this little book faithful and intimate recollections of her mother's closing years. She shows that the work of the last five years of Julia Ward Howe's life was as rich and fruitful as that of any portion of her career." -Publishers Weekly "To all who knew and loved Mrs. Howe in the closing years of her life this little volume will be doubly precious as rounding out the story she told herself, and as gathering up memories shared by many. Who that heard her ringing words in behalf of the babies on what proved to be her last public appearance in Boston can forget them? Who that felt her hurt because she was not asked to speak at the meeting in honor of Margaret Fuller, where she was the only person who had known her well, and when she had her 'poem in her pocket,' does not rejoice that at least this was not the last appearance, and that the hurt could be made up to her later? Mrs. Elliott's loving account of her mother's Eleventh Hour shows the gaiety, the charm, the sympathetic appreciation of others, that were with her to the last. As the daughter says truly, 'She tapped the great life current that flows around the world.' She was essentially religious, with a glad sense of the widening meanings one pouts into the word nowadays. Her first waking act was aspiration; her last, thanksgiving. These chapters are a beautiful story that will help to keep alive the memory of Mrs. Howe not merely as the writer of the 'Battle Hymn,' or as a reformer and public speaker, but as the joyous, unaffected, eager woman, good to live with, keenly alive to the good of life, and desirous that others should share it." -Christian Register "Intimate recollections of her mother." -The Dial "The last five years of Mrs. Howe's long life were fruitful in happy toil. If one learns the admirable lesson offered by this life, always busy, always joyful, always forgetful of herself in service for others, a long step will be taken in character-building." -The Outlook
