Excerpt from Recollections of Mary Lyon: With Selections From Her Instructions to the Pupils in Mt; Holyoke Female Seminary
Miss Fisk was led to undertake this work by finding among some of the early Holyoke pupils many notes of Miss Lyon's instructions, especially on religious topics, and as these were talked over and interesting incidents were related of her, the desire was very often expressed that they might be put together in some form to benefit others, and bring Miss Lyon anew before the minds of young ladies preparing for usefulness.

Excerpt from Recollections of Mary Lyon: With Selections From Her Instructions to the Pupils in Mt; Holyoke Female Seminary
The present work is not a memoir. Two considerable volumes have already been published sketching the life and labors of Mary Lyon, and leaving little room or occasion for a third covering the same ground.
Miss Fisk was led to undertake this work by finding among some of the early Holyoke pupils many notes of Miss Lyon's instructions, especially on religious topics, and as these were talked over and interesting incidents were related of her, the desire was very often expressed that they might be put together in some form to benefit others, and bring Miss Lyon anew before the minds of young ladies preparing for usefulness.
Miss Fisk was peculiarly fitted for the work. Her mind and character were of such a type as to receive a deep impress from Miss Lyon's influence. Her birthplace was in a town adjoining Miss Lyon's first home, and, from early childhood, she had heard of her words and deeds. In later years she was brought into intimate connection with her as a pupil and teacher, and allowed, as few others were, to know her inner life.
