Excerpt from Mary Crawford Brown: A Memoir
The aim has been to make the Memoir, as far as possible, a self-portraiture, that being the best way to secure perfect fidelity to life. Warm thanks are due to two of Mary's Parisian girl-friends and life long correspondents, Mlle. Helene Wehrlin, of Alsace, and Miss Ella Martin, of Newry, County Down, who had the wisdom to perceive the value of her letters, written to the one mostly, though not invariably, in French, and to the other nearly always in English. By preserving each a sheaf Of her intimate, self-revealing messages, and putting them all at the writer's disposal, they have considerably eased his onerous task. It is hoped that the numerous extracts from her French letters will read smoothly enough in English. Some fragments of her correspondence were also forwarded by Mary's Norwegian school-friend, Emma Thomas, now Mrs. Ramm. And after the Memoir was almost completed, some fifty letters written to her son Oliver during his period of service in Mesopotamia and convalescence in India came into the writer's hands. These are in some ways the most valuable of all.
The other data which have been woven into the Memoir have been Obtained in the course of talks with Mary's kinsfolk in Belfast and at Donaghmore, with her comrades in Church and Zenana work, with her missionary friends at home on furlough, with her associates in musical and educational circles, and with young people whose Spirits were touched to finer issues by fellowship with her. Some of her friends, such as Dr. William Park and Dr. George Thompson, Mrs. R. H. Boyd and Miss Helen Waddell, have given their memories and impressions in letters as well as in conversation. In the use of the materials submitted to him the writer has, Of course, had a perfectly free hand, and he alone is responsible for the manner in which everything has been presented.

Excerpt from Mary Crawford Brown: A Memoir
It has been the writer's privilege to escape for a little while from the routine of special studies and to hold communion in spirit with one whose passage through this world has been to many a convincing evidence of the Divine reality of our Christian faith. This book is written in order that every reader may enjoy the same vivid and sacred friendship, heart yet speaking to heart though the voice is still.
When a Scotsman, after but a short stay in Ireland, was invited to prepare the Memoir of a gifted and gracious Irishwoman - a beautiful soul if there has been one in our time - the difficulties were so great and obvious that he could only decline a task for which he seemed to have no fitness. This happened more than once, but there were influential people, in particular some beloved missionaries, whose mild persistence could not be ignored, and the decisive appeal was made by the sisters of one of the writer's first and dearest Irish friends, affectionately remembered by all his comrades as "Willie Wilson of Coleraine," whose cross-marked grave in France James Pyper of Duncairn and the writer visited together in the last month of the war.
