Excerpt from Diary and Notes of Horace Templeton, Late Secretary of Legation, 1848, Vol. 1 of 2

Few, very few per sons can bring themselves by an effort to believe that they are dying - easy as it seems, Often as we talk Of it, frequent as the very expression becomes in a colloquialism, it is still a most difficult pro cess; but once thoroughly felt, there is an engross ing power in the thought that excludes all others.
