The tenth book is the most languid.

As his book was a sort of official work, I suppose he thought this would not do, and I wish he now would give his friends (and let us be amongst them) a manuscript of the particulars that are not for the public.

A little book called "Holiness through Faith," published about this time, was another disturbing influence in Mrs. Prentiss' religious life.

The book was a compilationchiefly in the form of multichrome pictures with accompanying borders of textof all the grisly scenes of martyrdom which the publishers had been able to scrape together from such classics as "Fox's Book of Martyrs" and the like.
