A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Home of my childhood. It even takes, in part, the form of personal narrative. Other incidents were not wanting, derived from countless sources, to illustrate great principles. But I love to connect everything I write with the endearments, the sorrows, the joys of Home: the scenes and friends whom I loved in youth. And I have trusted that it would give a more familiar, homelike character to views intended to guide the steps of those who seek a Home on high. There is not an incident, not a narrative or an illustration but is true, in fact, so far as I know. Most of them are drawn from my own personal recollections, and are connected with the life and death of those I dearly loved. The local and personal allusions, while I trust they will offend none, will I hope benefit some of my early and still loved associates.

The causes of both are illustrated by incidents of every kind, so as to present the contrast between the worldly and spiritual mind as vividly as may be. If one illustration provoke a smile, another may cause a tear. Smiles and tears make up our life. I love both, in their places.

And I never go out of my way to avoid a thought that is new, or possibly, offensive, so be, that I believe it true. So, Reader, the writer and his book you know. May it help you to value and enjoy that every-day religion which fills the bosom of the prisoner with the Peace of God, and by which our feet may be safely guided in the path that leads fro

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
