BEATRICE: OR, THE UNKNOWN RELATIVES. BY CATHERINE SINCLAIR, AUTHOR OF "Modern Accomplishments," "The Mysterious Marriage," Popish Legends," WARD, LOCK, AND CO., WARWICK HOUSE, IN attempting to represent the happiness of a Protestant family circle, it is impossible for me not to think of that Brother whose inestimable friendship makes my home what it is; and in delineating the advantage bestowed on Protestants by their free access to the Bible, the pleasing recollection is ever before me, how long we have studied its pages daily together. Having been hitherto precluded from consulting the wishes of any on the subject of these volumes, I now request that you, and all my family circle, will, when for the first time you read this narrative, treat them as you always treat the Author, being 'to every fault a little blind,' or rather, if possible, completely so. |
