Excerpt from Agnes and the Little Key: Or Bereaved Parents Instructed and Comforted We are assured by the author of this book, that, in view of the sacredly private experiences which it contains, it would not have been published had he not supposed that special pains to conceal the authorship would be successful. On being published, the book was by common consent and without question ascribed to its true source. We have hitherto yielded to the author's wish in withholding his name from the title-page. The book was soon, without any suggestion from this country, printed in London. The Rt. Rev. Archibald Campbell, Bishop of London, now Archbishop of Canterbury, had about that time excited the Christian sympathy of the British public by great domestic bereavements. The London publishers sought permission to dedicate the English edition of this book to him, which q was done as follows: - "To the Right Hon. and Right Rev. Archibald Campbell, Lord Bishop of London, himself ail earnest laborer in the field of Christian love, this volume, written by one who desires to impart to others the strength and consolation and hope vouchsafed to him in the house of mourning, is, by his Lordship's kind permission, most respectfully dedicated."
