This is the first, privately printed, edition of Margaret Frazer Barbour's account of a family tragedy. In 1853, her family was travelling from Edinburgh to Manchester, when the train met with an accident; her son Georgy was killed instantly and her son Freddy died a few days later. The book gives an account of their lives and chronicles the author's reconciling of their loss from the point of view of her evangelical Christianity.
