TO THE
MEMORY OF MY DEVOTED WIFE
ALICE DIMMICK MALVEN CUDDEBACK
FOR ME FOR MORE THAN THIRTY-FIVE YEARS
A HOMEMAKER IN ITS FULLEST SENSE,
A SHARER IN MY LIFE'S JOYS,
TRIALS AND SORROWS.
"OUR LIVES ARE WAVES THAT COME UP OUT OF THE OCEAN OF ETERNITY, BREAK
UPON THE BEACH OF EARTH AND LAPSE BACK TO THE OCEAN OF ETERNITY. SOME
ARE SUNLIT, SOME RUN IN STORM AND RAIN; ONE IS A QUIET RIPPLE,
ANOTHER IS A THUNDEROUS BREAKER, AND ONCE IN MANY CENTURIES COMES A
GREAT TIDAL WAVE THAT SWEEPS OVER A CONTINENT, BUT ALL GO BACK TO THE
SEA AND LIE EQUALLY LEVEL THERE."
"MAN IS A HUNTING ANIMAL," SOME HUNTING FOXES,
OTHERS FAME OR FORTUNE, SOME IN THE WORLD OF
NATURE, SOME OF MIND, SOME SEEK THE ROOTS
OF WORDS AND THE ORIGIN OF THINGS. I AM FOND
OF HUNTING OUT A PEDIGREE. WITH THIS COMES A
PRIDE OF ANCESTRY AND PEOPLE, AND AN INTEREST
WHICH MAY LURE THE READER, AND PERHAPS CAUSE
HIM TO CONTINUE THIS "GENEALOGICAL CHASE."
