Internationaler Buchtitel. In englischer Sprache. Verlag: Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 668 Seiten, L=152mm, B=229mm, H=37mm, Gew.=966gr, Kartoniert/Broschiert, Klappentext: Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: But we, although we dimly see Thy guidings as each day is done, Reading thy writing on our souls, Spell out the letters one by one. Then, since we feel our weakness, Lord, Make us upon thy strength to rest, Confiding blindly in thy care, Knowing thy ways are ever best. And, since a creature's bliss is found "Fulfilling all thy Will commands, Make us in absolute content Leave past and future in thy hands. AN OLD STONE. BY F. S. D.

It is only a very ordinary looking stone, twenty-six inches long, sixteen broad, and ten and a half deep, somewhat worn away, yet bearing marks, in the opinion of many, of having at some time been chiselled. Even when described at the fullest it is only "of a dull reddish or purplish sandstone, with a few embedded pebbles, one of which is quartz, and two others of a dark material, which may be Lydian stone.

" In this chair and on this stone,'' has just said the conducting verger, " every English sovereign, from Edward I. to Victoria, has been cro...<
