About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1871.

There should be a God here, For there is strength, majesty all unseen, A beauty spectral, as the mind that bore it.
