This booklet from the pen of the gifted and honored Rev. Legh Richmond, gives a clear and sweet account of the Lord’s mercy manifested in rescuing one of His tender lambs out of the “paw of the lion.”
“Direct its course, Oh my God. May the eye that reads, and the ear that hears the record of little Jane, through the power of the Spirit of the Most Highest, each become a witness for the truth as it is in Jesus,” was his prayer.
May the Lord fulfill this petition, and use this abridged reprint for the good of many and for the glory of His Name.
Legh Richmond (1772–1827) was a Church of England clergyman and writer. He is noted for tracts, narratives of conversion that innovated in the relation of stories of the poor and female subjects, and which were subsequently much imitated. He was also known for an influential collection of letters to his children, powerfully stating an evangelical attitude to childhood of the period, and by misprision sometimes taken as models for parental conversation and family life, for example by novelists, against Richmond's practice.
