Man walked in fear and solemnity, with Heaven very close above his head, and Hell below his very feet. God's visible hand was everywhere, in the rainbow and the comet, in the thunder and the wind. The Devil too raged openly upon the earth; he skulked behind the hedge-rows in the gloaming.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
