I knew her at a period when fire and earth-quake had made it rather fashionable to pray--and when very respectable and very genteel people, were known to pray--and when the most beautiful women of New-York were to be seen at church, though Broadway, the Battery, and both rivers were open at the time; and she appeared to me to grow younger and younger every year.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
