Excerpt from The Cottage Girl: Or, an Account of Ann EdwardsA short life like her's, passed in a shep herd's cottage, and diversified only by the labours of the field and the daily work of the family, can afford but little for the biographer to relate, but it ought not to be forgotten, that the power of godliness is often more emi nently displayed in these humble dwellings than in princely palaces - Proud man may, and indeed often does, overlook or despise the lowly Christian, but He who became poor, that we through him might be made rich, neither despises the piety of a humble cottager, nor views with indifference the dwelling-places of his saints. He smiled on his own work in the heart Of this poor girl.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
