LEAVES FROM THE JOURNAL OF
MARIAN DRAYTON, A.D. 1553-1558.
- A book which whoever begins to read will not permanently
lay aside till he has finished it. The sentiments and feelings ex-
pressed with so much naturalness of manner are invariably those
of the Christian gentlewoman; and the incidents are such as
might easily be supposed to have occurred, and yet are suffi-
ciently uncommon to give them a special interest. Some pas-
sages are exquisitely beautiful, and the entire book is the
production of a highly cultivateu and poetic mind, under the in-
fluence of sincere and enlightened piety."—Evangelieal Christen-
dom.
