Author Description

Excerpt from The History, Object, and Proper Observance of the Holy Season of Lent In this state of things, the writer has frequent ly sought - but without success - for something, which in a small compass might contain the ne cessary information with respect to the Lenten Fast. He could only find, a few pages by one author - a sermon by another - or perhaps some brief tracts, which, although excellent in them selves, did not attempt to discuss the whole sub ject. Having waited therefore for several years in vain, in the hope that the desired work would be furnished by some one better able to do it jus tice, he has at length ventured himself to under take the task.
