Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ruthwell Cross and Other Remains of the Late Hannah Mary Wright, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne: With Brief Memoir of the Author
Healer or physician of the soul. Not only is the death of Christ referred to and its design clearly stated, but his triumphant ascension is also spoken of, His second coming is proclaimed, and warning is given that there will be an awful day of righteous judgment, when each man shall receive, for woe or weal, his meed, and when no man will find any plea to urge for himself who has despised the Cross of Christ. The poem contains some passages of great beauty, and many touching refer ences are made in it to the death of our Lord, which may be read with profit by Christian men and women, even in these happier times of revived gospel light. The whole poem is full of interest, as shedding light on the teachings of the Church in the seventh century.
