Divine Meditations Upon Several Occasions

Excerpt from Divine Meditations Upon Several Occasions: With a Daily Directory IF my efforts to obtain a single copy of these excellent Meditations, beyond that which was given to you by your maternal Uncle Lieut. General waller, had been successful, I should not have caused the good work of an ancestor of his to have been reprinted. The failure of those efforts has proved to me that Sir william waller's meditations are lost to the public-and that his name is now only remembered as a leading General in Cromwell's army. The forcible, the scriptural language, in which these religions sentiments are expressed, evinces the vigour of the mind, and the piety of the heart which dictated them The style is the best style of the period in which they were written - and perhaps not less interesting because now obsolete. On this account, not a word has been changed, even the orthography is unaltered. I hope many may read them with advantage, and concur in Opinion with myself, that they are too valuable to fall into oblivion. If I am mistaken in my estimate, I shall yet be well satisfied if you have a pleasure in accepting them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
