Author Description

Excerpt from The Snow-Drop: Or Flora's First Lessons <p>MY little readers will think, with Flora, that it is a sad thing that nothing beauti ful will stay; but, with Flora, they must be taught that this world is not our home. It is not so in the mansions which our Sa viour has gone to prepare. There the beautiful will not die; for there death will never come. We will not grieve, then, because all things earthly are pass ing away. We shall find the beautiful and good, which we have mourned as lost, all there; there in the happy land, not lost, but only gone before. Let us be good, andnogoodwillbelosttous. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
