THE RECORDED WILL: OR, TRUTH AND NOT FICTION; REMARKABLY ILLUSTRATING THE CARE OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE. BY A CLERGYMAN'S WIDOW. BOSTON: PUBLISHED BY TAPPAN & WHITTEMORE; J. R. WHITTEMORE, CHILLICOTHE. Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1854, by TAPPAN & WHITTEMORE, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the District of Massachusetts. ANDOVER: JOHN D. FLAGG, STEREOTYPER AND PRINTER. PREFACE. HAVING nearly reached the sunset of life, it is with diffidence the writer offers these plain, unvarnished facts, which have occurred in the long path-way of years-facts of which she has been cognizant; and to the truth of which, living witnesses can still attest. For their sakes, she has reverted to past scenes, yet within the memory, as well as for those in the morning of life; and if grateful recognition of the Divine Hand which has guided the one class almost to the verge; and love and confidence be awakened in the other, just commencing life's journey, the object is accomplished. |
