IT was the Author's wish and intention, that the following Narrative should go forth to the world, accompanied by a "List of Subscribers:" but, in deference to the opinion of an experienced Clerical Friend, she has laid aside that purpose; thus denying herself the satisfaction of making known, that many persons of high rank, and of the most distinguished character, have encouraged this humble publication. She trusts that no offence will be taken at an omission, by which she escapes (not to mention a considerable addition to the expense of printing,) the difficulty of correctly exhibiting nearly seven hundred names. The number of copies subscribed for, was little short of fourteen hundred.

SCOPWICK, NEAR SLEAFORD:
July, 1842.

RECOLLECTIONS

OF A

BELOVED MOTHER:

BY

EVERILDA ANNE GARDINER.

"Father! in Christ we live, and Christ in Thee;
Eternal Thou, and everlasting we.

The heir of Heaven, henceforth I fear not Death:
In Christ I live-in Christ I draw the breath

Of the true Life!

Is that a death-bed, where a Christian lies?

Yes-but not his; 'tis Death itself there dies.”

Coleridge.
