The book was compiled by a group of Rice's colleagues and former students, and includes a collection of essays, letters, and other writings that celebrate Rice's life and work.The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Rice's life and career. The first section provides a biographical sketch of Rice, tracing his early years in Massachusetts, his education at Harvard University, and his subsequent career as a teacher and scholar.The second section of the book focuses on Rice's work as a professor of geology and mineralogy at Wesleyan University in Connecticut. This section includes essays on Rice's contributions to the field of geology, as well as personal reminiscences from some of his former students.The third section of the book is devoted to Rice's work as a Christian minister and missionary. This section includes several of Rice's sermons and other writings on religious topics, as well as essays by his colleagues and friends on the role of religion in Rice's life.The final section of the book is a collection of letters and tributes written by Rice's colleagues and former students after his death. These letters offer a poignant and heartfelt tribute to Rice's life and work, and provide a moving testament to the impact he had on those who knew him.Overall, William Rice: A Memorial (1898) is a fitting tribute to a remarkable man, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American education and scholarship.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
