Excerpt from Memorials of Emily Bliss Gould, of Rome

The sailing of a young wife for her first visit from the New World to the Old is an every-day affair; but it is like a wedding or a funeral in this, that however common it may become, it can never be commonplace. There is so much in the occasion to touch the universal sympathy - not love alone, but the eagerness of hope, the lingering look behind, the relentings of heart toward those that are left, and, amid all the gayety and good cheer, the emerging into consciousness, from moment to moment, of that inevitable spectre of uncertainty which haunts the cabin of every departing ship.

Not many elements of personal interest were wanting when Emily Bliss, with her husband, Dr. James B. Gould, sailed from New York to Havre, in the summer of 1860.
