Paperback, [EAN: 9781330693513], Forgotten Books, Forgotten Books, Book, [PU: Forgotten Books], Forgotten Books, Excerpt from The Widow's OfferingMy Lord,I feel very sensibly and deeply affected, I assure your Lordship, by your exceeding kindness and condescension in the permission to dedicate this Fifth Edition of a small and unpretending Volume to yourself. Ennobled far more by the graces and virtues that adorn your character, than by your illustrious birth and elevated station, I feel a pleasurable confidence that the work which is now presented to your notice contains not a sentiment which your Lordship's cultivated taste and pious feeling will not readily and cordially approve.All that the Compiler claims upon the score of merit, is the exercise of indefatigable care and diligence in the choice of the most rare and valuable offerings which the Muse has consecrated to piety, friendship, knowledge, and love.The call which is now made for this Fifth Edition, and the distinguished favour of your Lordship's approving notice, encourages the hope that the humble effort to serve the cause of benevolence and religion has not been unattended with success.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
