Book Description
Excerpt from Letters of Emelia Russell Gurney The following letters need little introduction. They have been printed under the impression that they would interest a wider circle than they would otherwise reach, and that, whilst giving pleasure to those who were numbered among the writer's friends, by recalling a voice dear to them, they might also bear a message for others to whom she was unknown. The published words of Emelia Russell Gurney are few. But her gifts found their natural channel in cor respondence, which was a perpetual fountain of enrich ment to her nearest ones, and was ever widening its circles of blessing as life went on. The idea of making public a selection from among these letters has received kind encouragement from several whose opinion is unbiased and valuable.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lady Russell's Letters, Vol. 1 Truss are copies of my lady Russell's letters from the originals. All those to doctor Fitzwilliam, were by him returned in one packet to her ladyship, with his desire they might be printed for the benefit of the public. Those to the earl of Galway were preserved by his lordship. One to king William was found in his pocket, and those to others are minutes or copies, all of her ladyship's hand-writing. Thousands, that deserved a much better fate, are not to be recovered. Doctor Burnet to my lady Russell, writes I know you act upon noble and worthy principles, and you have so strange a way of expressing yourself, that I sincerely ac knowledge my pen is apt to drop out of my hand when I begin to write to you, for I am very sensible I cannot rise up to your strain, &c. Again, when bishop of Salis bury, he says As I have met with all the noble marks of a most obliging goodness and friendship, so no heart can possibly be fuller of a deep sense of it than mine is: and as long as I live I will reckon myself as much a property to you, as any thing can be that eats your bread; and you and yours may depend upon all that I can ever do, as much as if I were bought with your money. Doctor John Tillotson (afterwards archbishop of Canter bury) writes, I need0not to tell your ladyship, how little reckoning is to be made of any of the comforts of this world. All our hopes, but that of another, are built upon uncertainty and vanity. Till we come to the region above, we shall never be out of the reach of storms and tempests; thither let us always be aspiring, and pressing forwards to wards that blessed state but why do I say this to one that hath a much more lively sense of these things? The princess of Orange says I am sure I may learn from yours to consider God's providence in such a manner as to make it easy.
