Product Description
This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text, images, or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1892. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XIV. CONVERSATION CIRCLES. Simeon's diligence as a pastor and preacher was the main foundation of his religious influence, and with this must be remembered his activity as a writer, and the very large circulation of his published Sermons and Outlines.

It is broken midway by a lofty arch, through which the great lawn is seen and the trees of "the Backs"; and over this arch appears a large semi-circular window. This window lights the front room, or dining-room, of the set which was Simeon's. Another large chamber, which he called his drawing-room, looks the other way, westward, through two sash-windows. The bed-room adjoins the dining-room, and out of it a steep staircase leads to a spacious attic in the roof. From the attic again there' is an exit through a glass door out upon the leads, where ...
