This young woman whose hopes and happiness had been so suddenly blighted, possessed a graceful person, and features of no ordinary attraction. She was attired in deep mourning; but her sweet pale face mourned the loss she had experienced without aid of external weeds.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
