Excerpt from Sibert's World: A TaleThe Author considers it necessary to state, that should any of the scenes or conversations in this Tale be considei'ed exaggerated, they are drawn from real life, and that the obj ections raised to District Vis iting, as conducted in many parishes, are founded on personal experience of the mischief which it does amongst the class it is intended to serve: and the Author is supported in this belief by the much larger experience and much clearer j udgment of an Incumbent of a Metropolitan Parish, who has stated his views on the subject in a Pamphlet, entitled, Vis iting Societies and Lay Readers a Letter to the Lord Bishop of London, by Presbyter Catholicus.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
