Excerpt from The Birthday Dinner to Thomas Addis Emmet, M. D., LL. D., Given by His Professional Friends at Delmonico's, New York, May 29, 1905: With an Autobiographical Narrative The sentiment indicated by the collection could not be expressed better than in the words Of a dedication to The History Of the Emmet Family, Etc, which I wrote someyears ago for my children and their descendants, as follows With my love I dedicate this volume to my children, andado so with the hope that they may realize a just pride in the record of those who in the past have so honestly filled their station in life. A sentiment which, if properly appreciated, must needs bear good fruit from the example thus set forth for emulation.
