It is for the rare moral beauty of the subject of this brief biography, rather than for her mental attainments, that the author would more particularly bespeak the attention of the reader. If this true story of a triumph over afflictions and disadvantages which are almost unique in their magnitude, help some who hear of it to appreciate more highly their own blessings, and to believe more fully in the tender care of the only One who is able thus to create a fountain of joy in the midst of a desert of privation, this little book would not have been written in vain. Illustrated.
