Narratives of Two Families Exposed to the Great Plague of London, A. D. 1665: With Conversations on Religious Preparation for Pestilence (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Narratives of Two Families Exposed to the Great Plague of London, A. D. 1665: With Conversations on Religious Preparation for Pestilence

I purchased for sixpence the little volume I have described: and, on perusing it, found it to contain, in the form of a history of a family shut up in London at the time, an Account of the great plague of A. D. 1665, which is highly interesting and affecting, and at the same time free from those minute and revolting descriptions, which sometimes make us turn away from such narratives with horror. This is followed by a series of Conversations between the members of ano ther family, exposed to the same awful visitation, on the spiritual preparation requi site to fortify the mind in the prospect of such a calamity, and to secure our meeting it unharmed, if it should really come.
