Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Father Drummond and His Orphans, or the Children of Mary
Shortly after the arrival of my parents in Sect land, I was born. My father had found employ ment on the road near Clearburn, where he took a room for my mother. The other laborers were chiefly Irish, so that he was no longer exposed to his former annoyances. Between the reformation of her husband and the birth of her child, my mo ther was one of the happiest women in existence; and Mr. Drummond, who was priest there, has since told me, that for two years both my parents were an example to the rest of his flock. Ah! If things had continued thus; but God willed it other Wise. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
