Excerpt from The Christian Miscellany, and Family Visiter, Vol. 1: For the Year 1846 We cannot fail to appreciate the extended circulation which our miscellany has received: the high and the low, the rich and the poor, acknowledge its usefulness and importance; and it is perused alike by the inhabitants of the mansion, and the inmates of the cottage. But most of all do we feel grateful that the Holy Spirit has condescended to employ this unpretending periodical as an instrument of Spiritual good; and if any of our readers by perusing our pages he led to inquire after the unsearchable riches, or to covet more earnestly the best gifts, we shall be amply rewarded. May the Great Head of the church speed our endeavours! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
