"A truly admirable book, which has as many admirers of the sweetness of its
author as it has readers. I have carefully arranged that it shall be read
throughout our Society, as the universal remedy for all feeble ones, the
good of slothful ones, the stimulus of love, and the ladder of those who are
tending to perfection. Oh! that all would study it as it deserves! There
should be no one to escape its heat."
