Reseña del editor

Excerpt from Recollections of George Butler

Without a name, or without the interest attaching to it of any recorded great exploit, but which nevertheless interests for its own sake. Something looks forth from those eyes - something of purity, of sincerity, of goodness - which draws the beholder to go back again and again to that portrait, and which gives it a lasting place in the memory long after many other likenesses of earth's heroes are' more or less forgotten.
