About This Item
Sheldon & Compny, New York, 1869; no statement of edition; 12mo (4 1/8" x 6 1/8") 256 pgs; green cloth boards. Inspirational novel of how a life of hardship and struggle was turned to peace and contentment, and the resulting positive effects it initiated in the lives of others. Authored by Emily Chubbuck (1817-1854), popular magazine writer who worked under the pseudonym ‘Fannie Forester’ before attracting serious critical attention, and whose stories, as here, are frequently infused with a spiritual theme. As a young girl Chubbuck dreamed of becoming a missionary, and after her 1846 marriage in New York to prominent American missionary Adoniram Judson, she realized her dream by accompanying him on his return to Burma Mission, assisting there until his death in 1851, upon which she returned to the United States. First published by Colby & Company, NY, in 1847. Good Plus, moderate cloth wear at the spine extremities, titles partially faded, some scattered light foxing, binding tight, sound and square. An uplifting novel and a rather scarce title from this popular 19th century author.
