 : The Royal Mandate

'The Royal Mandate deserves to be printed in letters of gold - how sweetly descriptive it is, the help to private devotion too, I think very spiritual, for a small work. I have not met with any thing equal [underlined] to it.'

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Elizabeth Marshall      Print: Unknown

  

Isaac Ambrose : Looking into Jesus

'I have been reading a sweet work lately, and earnestly recommend it to you my dear, pray let me have your opinion when you have read it. "Looking into Jesus" is the title, written by Isaac Ambrose [sic] The original was a large book, the one I speak of is about the size of a New Testament having been abridged by Rev Robert Cox-Hackney to render it a more saleable work.'

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Elizabeth Marshall      Print: Book

  

Hannah More : Practical piety

'Mrs Hannah More's "Practical piety" is a very useful book I think, perhaps you have read it if you think of any [underlined] you wish me to read my dear Susan please to name them [...] I am much favor'd with books which the kindness of friends supply, but while drinking with pleasure of some streams, I find the water of life only [underlined] in the Fountain [underlined]! I need not say I mean the Bible.'
